Aeva’s 4D LiDAR Technology with Instant Velocity Data to be Used as “Gold Standard” to Validate Next-generation Vehicle Automation Systems

Aeva^® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that a major European passenger vehicle OEM, together with a simulation and validation technology leader, will use Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology in its automated vehicle development program. Aeva’s Aeries™ II sensors will gather ground truth data, considered to be the “gold standard” in environmental modeling, to provide the OEM with accurate data to validate its next-generation vehicle automation systems. This new validation program points to the growing interest for adoption of Aeva’s FMCW technology and is in addition to Aeva’s other ongoing automotive opportunities including previously disclosed production RFQs with Global Top 10 Passenger OEMs.

Aeva’s unique FMCW technology is being incorporated into the OEM’s vehicle automation projects in collaboration with a leading simulation and validation technology provider. For the validation program, vehicles equipped with Aeva 4D LiDAR™ sensors will gather precise data of the environment around the vehicle. The data will serve as the benchmark for validating its next-generation vehicle automation systems including sensing, perception, decision-making, and control systems.

“As automation advances across consumer vehicle manufacturers, we are seeing increased interest in next-generation sensor technology like Aeva 4D LiDAR due to its ability to natively provide an additional dimension of instant velocity data that is missing in conventional LiDAR sensors,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. “This OEM’s adoption of Aeva 4D LiDAR for their validation project is another datapoint demonstrating the industry’s transition toward FMCW-based sensing and shows the OEM’s commitment to using advanced sensor and perception technologies as they develop their next-generation of automated vehicles. We look forward to supporting them to bring safe automated vehicles to the market.”

Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors can simultaneously detect precise range and velocity at long ranges. Leveraging the instant velocity channel, point cloud data from Aeva’s sensors can be easily separated into static and dynamic scenes. This separation helps the automated driving system quickly identify and distinguish static objects like drivable road boundaries, lane markings, and road signs from dynamic objects like moving vehicles, especially those that are smaller, such as pedestrians or motorcyclists.
