Valeo exec expects big boost from autonomous vehicles

Autonomous vehicle technology will become Valeo’s main growth driver by 2020, says Guillaume Devauchelle, who is the French supplier’s head of innovation. Valeo expects to leverage its expertise in sensors, radar and other components to play an integral role in automakers’ development of autonomous cars. Devauchelle told Automotive News Europe Correspondent Bruce Gain that the move would change “every single product line” at the supplier.
