TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Israeli lidar maker Innoviz Technologies said price reductions for the laser-based sensors will be key to enabling automakers to reach the next level of autonomous driving on a large scale.
To that end, Innoviz has developed a lidar that costs 70% less than the InnovizOne product it is supplying for BMW and Magna International's self-driving car program, which is expected to launch by the end of 2021.
Samples of InnovizTwo will be available in the third quarter of 2021, CEO Omer Keilaf said. The product's software will enable carmakers to collect roadway data from customers and can be upgraded for the next level of autonomous driving.
Except for Tesla, most automakers have said their self-driving cars will rely on lidar sensors, which use laser light pulses to measure distances and render precise images of the environment around the car.
