Key Highlights
- First Apollo lidar units produced at LITEON’s new Taipei, Taiwan facility.
- Apollo tailored for high-volume production, meeting strict automotive standards.
- Detects objects up to 1 km away at highway speeds with top-tier resolution.
- Offers flexible placement: behind windshield, on roof, or in grille.
- AEye and LITEON’s partnership drives scalable, high-quality output.
Lidar, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is a vital technology for autonomous vehicles. It helps cars “see” and move safely by scanning their surroundings. This production launch is a big win for AEye, proving it can deliver advanced lidar to car makers. With LITEON’s manufacturing expertise, the Apollo meets the tough quality and consistency standards that automotive companies demand.
The Apollo, part of AEye’s 4Sight Flex lineup, shines with its ability to spot objects over one kilometer away, even at high speeds. This long-range vision helps self-driving cars stay safe by reacting to dangers early. Its compact size and energy efficiency also make it easy for car makers to add it to vehicles without changing designs much.
AEye CEO Matt Fisch said, “Automotive OEMs need the highest product quality and consistency, and our work with LITEON makes that possible at scale.” The AEye-LITEON partnership combines cutting-edge tech with proven production skills, setting them up to shape the future of self-driving cars.
AEye specializes in software-defined lidar solutions, serving industries like transportation and logistics. LITEON, a leader since 1975 in LED and automotive tech, brings decades of experience to the table. Together, they’re ready to push lidar innovation forward.
