SAN FRANCISCO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 30, 2018 — Alta Devices:
What: |
Autonomous vehicles are predicted to become a part of daily life.
These vehicles will fly and drive without human interaction.
However, the picture being painted is incomplete: every time a
vehicle (air or land-based) has to stop to refuel or recharge, it
is no longer autonomous. In addition to the “brains”, “eyes”,
“ears” and other hardware and software that make these vehicles
possible, it is critical to be planning for “Autonomous Power”
as well.
Alta Devices meets all of these criteria. |

Why: | Autonomy in the air and ground is becoming a reality. Alta Devices is the world-record holder for single junction solar cell efficiency. Recently having launched its Gen4 technology, this generation demonstrates a significant weight reduction from the previous version resulting in an improved power to weight ratio of 160 percent. This is critical for tomorrow’s autonomous UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and electric vehicles. It can be used to generate substantial power over small surfaces without compromising vehicle design criteria. | |||||
