AEye, Inc., a global leader in adaptive lidar technology, has announced a groundbreaking update to its Apollo 4Sight sensor. Designed for behind-the-windshield integration, the sensor demonstrated unprecedented performance, detecting hard-to-perceive black vehicles at over 300 meters while maintaining a broad field of view. This innovation highlights AEye’s leadership in delivering high-resolution, software-defined lidar solutions.
Key Highlights
- Exceptional Detection Range: Apollo reliably detects black vehicles at distances exceeding 300 meters while maintaining a 120° x 20° field of view.
- Innovative Behind-the-Windshield Integration: Apollo eliminates optical challenges typically posed by standard windshields using a specialized, high-infrared-transparency windshield from Wideye®, a division of AGC.
- Cost-Effective and Design-Friendly: Integration behind the windshield reduces system costs and preserves vehicle aesthetics by eliminating the need for roof-mounted sensors.
- Industry-First Technology: Apollo is the only 1550 nm high-performance lidar capable of behind-the-windshield deployment, making it a standout solution for OEMs.
Advancing Vehicle Design and Safety
AEye CEO Matt Fisch emphasized Apollo’s transformative capabilities, stating, “Our talented team continues to push the boundaries of what is possible from Apollo, our small yet powerful, software-defined lidar sensor.” Fisch highlighted Apollo’s advantages in both functionality and aesthetics, offering automakers a streamlined and efficient lidar solution.
