Aeva Atlas Ultra Enables Highway-Speed
Automated Driving, with Up to 3x Resolution of Atlas, and an Ultra
Slim Design Ideal for Seamless Integration in Consumer Vehicles
Aeva® (NYSE: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and
perception systems, today announced Aeva Atlas™ Ultra, its newest
4D LiDAR sensor built to meet the performance demands of SAE Level
3 and 4 automated driving systems in passenger and commercial
vehicles. To enable safe travel at highway speeds, Atlas Ultra
provides up to three times the resolution of Atlas, and
configurable field of views with up to 150 degrees of vision across
the horizon. On-sensor perception software enables unique detection
capabilities at a maximum detection range of up to 500 meters. A
35% slimmer design makes Atlas Ultra ideal for passenger cars in
roofline and behind windshield integrations with minimal impact to
vehicle styling and aerodynamics.

“Atlas Ultra is our most powerful LiDAR sensor yet, designed to
meet the performance needs of L3 and L4 highway driving,” said Mina
Rezk, Co-Founder and CTO at Aeva. “Over the past few years, Aeva’s
pioneering industrialization of 4D LiDAR coupled with our
production programs and ongoing engagements with multiple top
global automotive OEMs has converged on the highly versatile Atlas
Ultra product. We believe Atlas Ultra, along with its critical
on-sensor perception and localization offering, provides a
competitive edge for passenger and commercial vehicle OEMs looking
to introduce highway speed functionality without compromise.”
Delivering Industry-leading Performance
Aeva’s unique Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D
LiDAR technology detects velocity and position simultaneously to
enable new levels of safety and automation. Using instant velocity
data, automated driving systems can detect important objects
faster, with higher confidence, and from greater distances.
Atlas Ultra delivers on critical requirements for highway-speed
autonomous driving with a 250 meter detection range for
low-reflectivity targets and a maximum detection range of up to 500
meters. Importantly, Atlas Ultra enables clear perception across a
wide variety of everyday driving scenarios because it is immune to
interference from direct sunlight, signals from other LiDAR
sensors, and to blooming and ghosting around retroreflective
objects like lane markers and street signs.
On-Sensor Perception Capabilities
Leveraging per point velocity information, Atlas Ultra provides
perception and localization outputs directly from the sensor to
enable unique capabilities, while helping to reduce compute costs.
These capabilities include:
- Small Object in Roadway Detection:
Detect small objects on the roadway and accurately discriminate
retroreflective lane markers from non-drivable road hazards, such
as a small brick or tire fragments, at distances of up to 150
meters.
- Dynamic Object Detection and
Tracking: Detect and track the position and velocity of all
dynamic objects with centimeter accuracy at up to twice the
distance of conventional 3D time-of-flight LiDAR sensors.
- Late Reveal Dynamic Object
Detection: Instantaneously detect dynamic objects that
suddenly appear even while remaining partially obstructed, such as
a pedestrian or animal emerging onto the road from behind a parked
car or thick vegetation.
- Lane Lines & Drivable Region
Detection: Detect lane lines and determine drivable
regions.
- Aeva Ultra Resolution™: A
real-time camera-like image that provides a high-density point
cloud resolution.
- Advanced Vehicle Motion
Estimation: Estimate vehicle motion in real-time with six
degrees of freedom for accurate positioning and navigation without
the need for additional inertial or positioning sensors.
Advanced AI Perception Capabilities
Additional advanced perception functions harness the latest
AI-based detection, tracking and classification algorithms. These
advanced perception algorithms utilize per point velocity
information to deliver advantages for automated vehicle
systems.
- Pedestrian & Vehicle
Detection: Detect, classify and track static and dynamic
objects including vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians,
bicyclists, and motorcyclists, as well as a large range of vehicle
classifications including passenger cars, trucks, buses, emergency
vehicles and more.
- Semantic Segmentation: Per-point
segmentation of the entire point cloud classifies points as:
pedestrians, vehicles, lane markings, drivable regions, road signs,
infrastructure, vegetation, and more.
Powered by Aeva Custom Silicon
The advancements in Atlas Ultra are powered by custom silicon
including the Aeva CoreVision™ Lidar-on-Chip module, and Aeva X1™
System-on-Chip processor.
- Aeva CoreVision: Designed to
strict automotive standards, Aeva’s fourth-generation LiDAR-on-Chip
module incorporates all key LiDAR elements including transmitter,
detector and an optical processing interface chip. Built on Aeva’s
proprietary silicon photonics technology, CoreVision replaces
complex optical fiber components with silicon photonics, ensuring
quality and enabling mass production at affordable costs.
- Aeva X1: Aeva’s powerful FMCW
LiDAR System-on-Chip processor 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 built in.
Meets Automotive Requirements
Designed to meet challenging OEM requirements across passenger
and commercial vehicle applications, Atlas Ultra meets automotive
grade requirements for functional safety ISO 26262 ASIL-B (D),
cybersecurity ISO 21434, and is IP69K compliant for robust dust and
water protection, and strong shock and vibration endurance.
