Innoviz have released their InovizAPP automotive perception platform. It includes automotive-grade hardware and software to enable AVs to identify and classify objects. Innoviz are shipping InnovizAPP to some automakers already, helping them accelerate timelines for consumer AV programs globally.
Based on Innoviz’s advanced Perception Software, InnovizAPP enables safe autonomous driving as it identifies, detects, and classifies objects. InnovizAPP is based on Innoviz’s advanced perception software, which uses proprietary AI algorithms to analyse rich data derived from Innoviz lidar sensors, so as to estimate an object’s speed with high precision. The software can accurately detect and classify objects in any 3D driving scene up to 250 metres away, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and more. It also executes perception algorithms in real time, detecting and classifying pixels as collision relevant or not. The InnovizAPP hardware is based on low-cost automotive-grade components. It connects to existing vehicle systems and enables real-time perception in a simple plug-and-chug manner, allowing automakers to test and learn how to build their own autonomous driving systems.
Innoviz CEO and cofounder Omer Keilaf says “InnovizAPP is a true technology breakthrough, offering an adaptable automotive-grade chip and platform that can be incorporated into existing vehicles. We developed it in response to requests from major automakers, and our customers in Asia, Europe, and North America are already optimising their AV programs with this platform”.
