Aeva Demonstrates Vision For Future Of Passenger Vehicle Autonomy With Its Latest Atlas Ultra LiDAR Sensor, New and Expanded Partnerships

About this update from Aeva Technologies, Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"--News Direct--By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Aeva Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AEVA), the maker of Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, is helping make safe, self-driving passenger and commercial vehicles a reality with the unveiling of its latest LiDAR sensor, Atlas Ultra. Announced at CES – the annual trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association, which has dubbed it “the most powerful tech event in the world” – Atlas Ultra was built to meet the performance demands of SAE Level 3 and 4 automated driving systems and especially for seamless integration in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. According to the sensor maker, Atlas Ultra provides up to three times the resolution of its standard Atlas product and has the capability to expand its configurable field of view to up to 150 degrees of vision across the horizon. Importantly, on-sensor perception software, which is also enabled on its Atlas line of products, provides unique detection capabilities at a maximum detection range of up to 500 meters. “Over the past few years, Aeva’s pioneering industrialization of 4D LiDAR coupled with our production programs and ongoing engagements with multiple top global automotive OEMs has converged on the highly versatile Atlas Ultra product,” said Mina Rezk, Co-Founder and CTO at Aeva. “We believe Atlas Ultra, along with its critical on-sensor perception and localization offering, provides a competitive edge for passenger and commercial vehicle OEMs looking to introduce highway speed functionality without compromise.”Aeva says its Atlas product line delivers on critical requirements for highway-speed autonomous driving, especially in passenger vehicles, by enabling clear perception across a wide variety of everyday driving scenarios. That’s because it is immune to interference from direct sunlight and signals from other LiDAR sensors. This enables Aeva’s LiDARs to detect small objects in roadways and accurately tell the difference between retro reflective lane markers and non-drivable road hazards, such as a small brick or tire fragments, at distances of up to 150 meters. The sensor can also detect and track the position and velocity of all dynamic objects with centimeter accuracy at up to twice the distance of conventional 3D time-of-flight LiDAR sensors and instantaneously detects dynamic objects that ...
