Download An error occurred while preparing your download The advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) market for commercial vehicles represents a significant opportunity for next-generation active safety technologies, with approximately 300,000 new Class 8 trucks sold annually in North America. Bendix ® Fusion ™ , Bendix's flagship ADAS system, is the market-leading collision mitigation and active safety solution available across most major Class 8 OEM platforms. Bendix Fusion provides a scalable path to deploy advanced LiDAR-based sensing capabilities in high-volume production vehicles. The development program underscores a broader industry shift toward the use of LiDAR for higher levels of autonomy, as well as for advanced driver assistance systems where enhanced perception can help improve safety performance. The collaboration, one of the industry's first 4D LiDAR-based programs targeting commercial vehicle active safety applications, aims to advance and improve performance in critical driving scenarios. "We're excited to expand our work with Aeva through this program as we continue advancing safety technologies for commercial vehicle fleets," said Mike Tober, chief technology officer at Bendix . "Aeva's 4D LiDAR provides capabilities that can improve system performance in critical driving scenarios, helping support the next generation of collision mitigation solutions that perform more effectively across a wider range of real-world operating conditions." "This program represents an important milestone in our collaboration with Bendix and a significant step toward mass production of a first-of-its-kind LiDAR-based driver assistance solution for commercial vehicles," said Mina Rezk, co-founder and chief technology officer at Aeva. "By combining Aeva's 4D LiDAR with Bendix's industry-leading safety platform, we are positioned to deliver next-generation LiDAR-based solutions that enhance safety and performance for commercial vehicle fleets at scale." Bendix notes that advanced driver assistance technologies complement safe driving practices. No commercial vehicle safety technology, including Bendix safety technologies, replaces a skilled, alert driver exercising safe driving techniques and proactive, comprehensive driving training. Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver at all times. Every driver should carefully review the Operator's Manual and be trained by the fleet or vehicle owner on the proper operation and limitations of the ADAS system during operation.
