Innoviz Launching Autonomous Driving LiDAR
Hi Editors of The Auto Channel. Today Innoviz Technologies is launching InnovizPro, which marks a giant step forward for the autonomous vehicle industry as it becomes the most accurate and reliable LiDAR sensor available for purchase today. With a detection range of 150 meters and a frame rate of 20 frames per second, InnovizPro not only offers better scanning performance than other LiDARs on the market, but comes at significantly reduced costs and in much a smaller size as well. Innoviz has deals in place with Tier 1 auto companies like Magna International and Aptiv (Delphi Automotive), as well as a new design win with a top-tier auto maker. It is one of the first LiDAR providers to deliver a complete product to market, and it delivers on all of the automotive industry’s needs for performance, reliability, cost, compact size and, and product maturity. Below is the press release a bit ahead of time under embargo. Let me know if we can set you up to speak with one of the company’s co-founders. They can give a lot of context into the fast-moving LiDAR race and how 2018 is going to be a crucial year for autonomous vehicles. Innoviz will also be at CES next week to unveil InnovizPro and also accept the CES Innovation Award for Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology and, if you are at the show, they would be happy to meet with you there to give you a personal demo of their technology. The company is in booth #2101 in Tech East, Westgate.

NEWS UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL JANUARY 5, 2018 AT 9 AM ET Innoviz Technologies Launches InnovizPro™, a High-Resolution, Solid-State Automotive LiDAR Solution Offering Unrivaled Performance and Cost, Available Now LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- January 5, 2018 -- Innoviz Technologies, a leading provider of LiDAR sensing solutions, announced today the commercial launch of InnovizPro™, a stand-alone, solid-state, MEMS-based scanning LiDAR solution offering the most accurate and reliable performance of any LiDAR sensor available on the market today. A CES Innovation Awards winner in the Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology category, InnovizPro leapfrogs other LiDAR systems to deliver groundbreaking 3D sensing at a significantly lower cost. InnovizPro™ is the only LiDAR currently available that delivers on all of the automotive industry’s needs for performance, reliability, cost, compact size and product maturity. Now available for purchase, InnovizPro allows Innoviz’s partners in the automotive industry to test and develop the next generation of autonomous driving programs reliably and affordably. Moreover, the current availability of InnovizPro opens the door for Innoviz to tap into additional markets, including industrial automation, security and surveillance, logistics and others. The product’s exceptionally high frame rate, combined with its high angular resolution and wide field of view, enables it to create a dense 3D point cloud with high accuracy. Meanwhile, its long detection range of up to 150 meters allows it to see with precise clarity at distance. Combined, these features enable InnovizPro to deliver superior accuracy even in the dark of night, cases of bright sunlight or quickly changing weather, and when the vehicle is traveling at highway speeds. Its advanced design also allows fine-tuning of regions of interest and ensures reliability and resilience to sunlight. “InnovizPro provides immediate accessibility to our advanced LiDAR technology and marks a giant leap forward for the entire autonomous vehicle market,�?? said Omer Keilaf, CEO & Co-Founder of Innoviz. “We are addressing a major need for high-resolution scanning technology at lower cost, with no minimum order required. While we continue to work towards automotive-grade LiDAR with InnovizOne, our partners can order InnovizPro now in order to gain access to the most advanced LiDAR currently available.�?? Founded in early 2016 and backed by US$82 million in funding, Innoviz is one of the first LiDAR providers to deliver a complete product to market. With more than 110 employees worldwide, Innoviz has signed strategic partnerships to manufacture as well as integrate its LiDAR into the autonomous driving systems of market leaders and Tier-1 suppliers including Aptiv (Delphi Automotive) and Magna International. Innoviz will continue to improve upon its industry-leading scanning performance with the introduction of InnovizOne™, the company’s built-in, automotive grade LiDAR for levels 3 - 5 autonomous driving. InnovizOne will feature even higher standards of performance, reliability, size and affordability. Samples of InnovizOne will be available in 2019. Live demonstrations of InnovizPro, as well as samples of InnovizOne, are on display at the 2018 CES conference in the Smart Cities Hall, Tech East, Westgate, Booth 2101. Innoviz’s LiDAR demo is also featured in the partner booths of Valens (LVCC North Hall, Booth 5931), Samsung (Muse Hall in The Hard Rock Hotel) and Osram (OSRAM OS Suites, Westgate, Conference Rooms 8-9, Second Floor). Innoviz product samples are displayed at Magna International (LVCC North Hall, Booth 7506), Jabil (Sands Expo - Zeno, Booth 4702-4705) and at the Innovation Awards Showcase within the Venetian Ballroom at CES Tech West. Innoviz will also demo InnovizPro at Automotive World Japan in Tokyo, January 17 - 19, at the Valens, CAR-ELE, Booth #E37-42.
