Oren Rosenzweig:
So no, I mean, if the question is whether we, weve tested the LIDAR off road, and then the answer is definitely, yes. I mean, uh, both for, uh, kind of
consumer applications for like, you know, trucks for safety applications, and, and also for some other off road applications like, um, mining, agriculture, uh, which actually are undergoing a lot of automation nowadays. So we work with some...
Sorry.
Omer Keilaf:
Space.
Oren Rosenzweig:
Oh, space, it, its really off road. We,
we actually, we have a project there as well. But, uh, but some of kind of the, the, the more earthy, um, applications. Uh, so actually, not applications like agriculture and, and mining, theyve been undergoing automation, um, and some level
of remote control and, and even like, autonomous, uh features for, for the past 10 years. And some of the companies in those spaces like, uh, Caterpillar, for example, have been some of the pioneers in, in automation.
Oren Rosenzweig:
Um, so they definitely are looking to, to
switch to solid state LIDARS like we offer, and even though weve designed the LIDARS around the requirements of the, um, consumer vehicle space, we, we actually realized that a lot of the things that, that weve done are extremely
relevant for them as well, in terms of, uh, reliability, obviously the price, the, the performance. So many of them, you know, were working with them, uh, with some of those leaders in those spaces, and, um, there are a lot of tests ongoing
now, of InnovizOne in such applications.
Cody Slach:
One,
one question that I think is interesting, if you guys had your crystal ball, you know, sort of how do you see this eventually being a product that is required by law?
Omer Keilaf:
I think that if you... I mean, its,
its interesting, because, um, in the automotive space, every, uh, function in the car that is related to safety, uh, there is, uh, regulation about it. Uh, the ISO 26262 uh, 62, um is a regulation that basically defines, uh, what is required
in order to, uh, to, to have that feature in a safe way. And basically in, in automotive, in autonomous driving, it means that there is no single point of failure. An automotive, uh, an autonomous car needs to be, uh, ACLB uh, which basically means
that there is a redundancy. Um, now a camera is defined as an ACLB because, uh, there are situations where the camera could become blurred or saturated. And then in order to reach an ACLB you need to have a secondary sensor that provides you the
ability to see things that the camera does see in the the situation where it works well. And radar cannot provide that because of the low resolution. The only sense of today that, uh, that provide it is a LiDAR. So, uh, by regulation, in order to
meet ACLB, you need to have a different kind of a sensor for giving redundancy to a camera and today the only sensor that is applicable for that is a LiDAR. So you can, you can consider it a law, but, uh, its, its a, its a law
written, uh, in probably a lot of blood.
Oren Rosenzweig:
I would just wanna add to that in terms of the regulatory environment. So, um, youve got, uh, Nissan now with, um, with a
call-out for comments for, um, kind of the next generation of a USN cap and, um, of course also URN cap, and theyre kind of thinking through what, uh, what, you know, what does it take to get the maximum
safety rating, uh, going forward. And we do expect that to be able to kind of get ranked, uh, with the highest safety re- ranking for pro-consumer car, um, some of the
ADAS features will have to include kind of use cases that are only enabled by LiDAR.
