Collaboration leverages DENSO’s experience in
commercializing advanced technologies with Aeva’s unique 4D LiDAR
on chip to enable automated driving at scale
Aeva Inc. (“Aeva”), a leader in next generation sensing and
perception systems, today announced a collaboration with DENSO, a
leading global mobility supplier of advanced automotive technology
for major automakers, to bring Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology to the
mass vehicle market.
Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology is the only viable Frequency
Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology to enable automated
driving for series production. Built from the ground up on
proprietary silicon photonics technology, Aeva’s 4D LiDAR combines
instant velocity measurement for each pixel, long range at high
resolution, immunity to other LiDAR or sunlight interference, and
scalability at industry leading costs on proven semiconductor
processes.
“DENSO is a leader in commercializing advanced technologies at
affordable costs and our collaboration is further evidence that
Aeva’s 4D LiDAR provides what we believe will be an unparalleled
combination of superior performance and scalability,” said Soroush
Salehian, Co-Founder and CEO at Aeva. “We’re excited to work
alongside DENSO to bring Aeva’s 4D LiDAR to global OEMs looking to
implement automated driving across their vehicle programs at
scale.”
“Aeva’s FMCW 4D LiDAR solution addresses the missing link for
perception in automated driving and advanced driver-assistance
systems, with its unique ability to meet the stringent automotive
performance and safety requirements,” said Kazuma Natsume, Director
of AD & ADAS Engineering Div. 2 at DENSO. “We look forward to
collaborating with Aeva to further develop FMCW LiDAR, bring it to
the mass market and create a society free from traffic
accidents.”
Aeva is engaged with 30 of the top OEM and automotive industry
players in the advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving
industries, has received strategic investments from Porsche SE, the
majority shareholder of VW Group, and has relationships with some
of the largest Tier 1 automotive suppliers.
Aeva remains on track to complete its previously announced
business combination agreement with InterPrivate Acquisition Corp
(NYSE: IPV), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company,
in the first quarter of 2021. The business combination is expected
to provide up to $563M in gross proceeds. The combined company is
expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
ticker symbol, “AEVA”.
