Innoviz has launched its automotive perception platform, “InnovizAPP”, designed for the automotive industry. InnovizAPP includes automotive-grade hardware and software that enable AVs to identify and classify objects along the road. The company stated that it is already shipping InnovizAPP “to selected automaker giants, helping them accelerate timelines for consumer AV programs globally.”
InnovizAPP enables a safe autonomous driving experience as it identifies, detects and classifies objects. The system is based on Innoviz’s advanced Perception Software, which leverages data derived from its LiDAR sensors, coupled with proprietary AI algorithms, to analyze the point cloud and precisely estimate an object’s speed.
The associated hardware provides an automotive-grade reference design based on low-cost automotive-grade components. It connects to existing vehicle systems and enables real-time perception in a simple plug-and-play manner, allowing automakers to test and learn how to build their own autonomous driving systems.
Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz, commented, “InnovizAPP is a 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 worldwide customers are already optimizing their AV programs with this platform, which is rapidly becoming the gold standard for customer validation.”
Innoviz claims to be the only company with lidar technology that can perceive better than a human driver, while also meeting the automotive industry’s strict requirements for performance, safety, and price. Selected by BMW for its fully electric iX autonomous car program, Innoviz’s technology will be the first to be deployed in consumer vehicles.
