Aeva selected to supply LiDAR to global automotive OEM
Aeva, a company developing sensing and perception systems based on silicon photonics, has announced that an automotive OEM has selected it as a tier 1 LiDAR supplier for its series production vehicle programme. The company believes that this is one of the largest automotive series production awards in its class, and that it positions Aeva to become a trusted direct tier 1 supplier to automotive OEMs globally.
“This win is a defining moment for Aeva and the larger automated driving industry,” said Soroush Salehian, cofounder and CEO of Aeva. “It represents one of the largest production design wins with an OEM transitioning to FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous-wave) technology, and is Aeva’s first major production win with a top global automotive OEM. This is the culmination of multiple years of diligent effort by the Aeva team and extensive collaboration and qualification of our 4D LiDAR in the automotive industry, and we look forward to sharing more about the significance of this programme in the coming weeks.”
Aeva’s mission is to bring advanced sensing and perception to a range of applications from automated driving to consumer health. The company says its 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
