Aeva announces participation at IAA Transportation 2024
The company will showcase its silicon photonics-based 4D LiDAR technology, which it says uniquely detects 3D position and velocity simultaneously, as well as a collaboration with Torc Robotics on autonomous trucking
Aeva, a company focused on next-generation sensing and perception systems, has announced it will showcase its high performance Aeva 4D LiDAR technology for the commercial vehicle industry at IAA Transportation 2024, a platform for the future of logistics, commercial vehicles, and the transport sector.
At IAA, which is taking place from 17-22 September in Hanover, Germany, Aeva says it will demonstrate its unique Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, including Aeva Atlas and Aeries II sensors, which simultaneously detect the velocity of each point in addition to precise 3D position. The company will also display its latest innovations in custom silicon technology including the Aeva CoreVision next-generation Lidar-on-Chip module, and Aeva X1, a System-on-Chip (SoC) LiDAR processor. In addition, Aeva’s partner Torc Robotics, an independent subsidiary of Daimler Truck, will showcase its driving simulator for autonomous trucking.
Atlas 4D LiDAR is Aeva’s automotive-grade long-range and high-resolution 4D LiDAR for mass production applications. Visitors to Aeva’s booth will be able to view the product, see live demonstrations, and learn more about its capabilities designed to accelerate the automotive industry’s path to safer advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving at highway speeds.
Visitors will also be able to see live point clouds from Atlas and Aeries II sensors showcasing Aeva’s ability to detect 3D position and velocity simultaneously. Advanced perception technology will also show scene segmentation and pedestrian detection capabilities.
Aeva and Torc are collaborating to bring SAE Level 4 autonomous trucking to market, beginning with the Daimler Truck Freightliner Cascadia platform. At the event, attendees can test out a Torc driving simulator to experience an autonomous truck without ever getting on the road. Road footage shows the in-cab perspective with synchronised steering as the fully autonomous truck navigates complex driving scenarios, powered by data from the truck’s Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to experience ride-along demo drives with live 4D LiDAR sensor data, demonstrating the benefits of Aeva’s technology, which the company says include simultaneous velocity and range detection, Aeva Ultra Resolution and ultra long-range sensing.
