Canada invests $3.2 million into silicon photonics company
The government of Canada dropped a CA$3.2 million investment into Montreal-based One Silicon Chip Photonics (OSCP), a developer of optical and navigation sensors for autonomous vehicles, on Nov. 30.
OSCP will use the investment to develop lighter, lower-cost inertial navigation sensors for future autonomous vehicles and drones. The new sensors will offer higher precision in detecting moving objects to improve the safety and accuracy of self-driving vehicles.
