Including CoreVision Next-gen Lidar-on-Chip Technology and Aeva X1,
New System-on-Chip Processor
Aeva® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and
perception systems, today introduced Aeva Atlas™, the first 4D
LiDAR sensor designed for mass production automotive applications.
Intended to accelerate the industry’s path to safer advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving, and built to meet
automotive-grade requirements, Atlas is powered by Aeva’s
innovations in custom silicon technology including the Aeva
CoreVision™, next-generation Lidar-on-Chip module, and Aeva X1™, a
powerful new System-on-Chip (SoC) LiDAR processor.

“We are thrilled to introduce Atlas as the industry’s first
automotive-grade 4D LiDAR sensor for mass production in automotive
applications,” said Mina Rezk, Co-Founder and CTO at Aeva. “Atlas
is the key development that will enable OEMs to equip their
vehicles with advanced safety and automated driving features at
highway speeds by addressing challenging use cases that could not
be solved before. Importantly, we believe it will accelerate the
industry’s transition to FMCW LiDAR technology, which we believe is
increasingly considered to be the end state for LiDAR, offering
greatly enhanced perception solutions that leverage its unique
instant velocity data.”

- Aeva CoreVision™ Lidar-on-Chip Module – Designed to
strict automotive standards, Aeva’s fourth-generation LiDAR-on-Chip
module incorporates all key LiDAR elements including transmitter,
detector and a new optical processing interface chip in an even
smaller module. Built on Aeva’s proprietary silicon photonics
technology, CoreVision replaces complex optical fiber systems found
in conventional time-of-flight LiDAR sensors with silicon
photonics, ensuring quality, and enabling mass production at
affordable costs.
- Aeva X1™ System-on-Chip Processor – Aeva’s powerful new
FMCW LiDAR SoC seamlessly integrates data acquisition, point cloud
processing, scanning system and application software into a single
mixed-signal processing chip. Designed for dependability with
automotive-grade functional safety and cybersecurity.
Compact and Power Efficient
Together, Aeva’s new silicon innovations allow Atlas to be over
70% smaller and consume four times (4x) less power than Aeva’s
previous generation LiDAR sensor, enabling operation without active
cooling and allowing for seamless integrations in-cabin behind the
windshield, on the vehicle’s roofline or in the grille.
Industry-leading FMCW Performance
Using Aeva’s unique Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW)
4D LiDAR technology, automated vehicles can unlock new levels of
safety and vehicle automation by detecting objects faster, farther
away, and with higher confidence – instantaneously discriminating
between static and dynamic points and knowing the precise velocity
of dynamic objects. Atlas delivers critical requirements for
highway-speed driving with a 25% greater detection range for
low-reflectivity targets and a maximum detection range of up to 500
meters. Importantly, Atlas sensors are immune to interference from
direct sunlight, signals from other LiDAR sensors, and from
retroreflective objects like street signs, enabling clear
perception across a wide variety of everyday driving scenarios.
Advanced Perception Capabilities
Atlas is accompanied by Aeva’s perception software which
harnesses advanced machine learning-based classification, detection
and tracking algorithms. Incorporating the additional dimension of
velocity data, Aeva’s perception software provides unique
advantages over conventional time of flight 3D LiDAR sensors
including:
- Aeva Ultra Resolution™: A
real-time camera-like image that provides up to 20 times the
resolution of conventional 3D LiDAR sensors.
- Road Hazard Detection: Detect
small objects on the roadway with greater confidence at up to twice
the distance of conventional 3D LiDAR sensors.
- Dynamic Object Detection:
Discriminate, determine the velocity of, and track all dynamic
objects with high confidence at up to twice the distance of
high-performance 3D LiDAR sensors.
- Vehicle Localization: Estimate
vehicle motion in real-time with six degrees of freedom for
accurate positioning and navigation without the need for additional
sensors, like IMU or GPS.
- Semantic Segmentation: Segment the
scene into drivable lanes and non-drivable regions, pedestrians,
vehicles and other elements such as traffic signs, vegetation, road
barriers and infrastructure.
- Pedestrian Detection: Detect,
classify, and track pedestrians to improve safety in use cases
where pedestrians are on the roadway or close to curbs.
Aeva expects to release Atlas for production consumer and
commercial vehicles starting in 2025, with samples available to
select automotive OEMs and mobility customers earlier. To learn
