Aeva Technologies, Inc.

Aeva Technologies designs and sells LiDAR sensing systems and related perception software for machines that need to understand their surroundings in 3D. The company’s core technology is FMCW-based 4D LiDAR-on-chip, which measures velocity in addition to depth and reflectivity and is intended to work in sunlight and in the presence of other LiDAR systems. Aeva sells prototype sensing systems and also performs non-recurring engineering services to adapt its perception solution to customer requirements. Its end markets include automotive, industrial, consumer devices, and security applications, with commercialization tied to customer development and production programs.
