Aeva and Wideye will jointly demonstrate the industry’s first functional FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) in-cabin 4D lidar solution for passenger vehicles at CES 2025.
The advanced integration of the Aeva Atlas 4D lidar sensor behind the windshield has various advantages. It benefits from a high mounting position for enhanced long-range sensing with minimal impact on vehicle design and aerodynamics. Meanwhile, custom-formulated glass from Wideye, compatible with Aeva’s unique FMCW wavelength, increases infrared light transmission while maintaining lidar point cloud quality.
The Wideye glass features high infrared transparency with nearly zero absorption, allowing the sensor to deliver high-end performance at full detection range. Placing the lidar sensor behind the windshield also protects from external elements and allows easy cleaning. The compact housing ensures road visibility, and the sensor’s low power consumption and passive cooling support a quiet cabin and passenger comfort.
“As OEMs look to enable higher levels of safety and automation by incorporating lidar technology, we see the unique combination of Aeva’s powerful 4D lidar with Wideye Windshield is ready to meet their needs,” said Gaetan Friart, CEO at Wideye by AGC.
“Lidar is quickly becoming a must-have sensing technology to enable higher levels of vehicle automation, including highway-speed driving,” added Mina Rezk, co-founder and CTO at Aeva.
The new in-cabin 4D lidar solution will be showcased at CES 2025 in Aeva’s booth #6900 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
