Seyond and Wideye by AGC To Showcase Functional Built-In Windshield LiDAR Solution at CES 2024

The companies’ partnership issues in a more functional, streamlined design for automotive LiDAR integration

Seyond (formerly Innovusion), a leading global provider of high-performance LiDAR sensors and solutions for autonomous vehicles and smart transportation, and Wideye, a corporate scale-up of AGC group specializing in cutting-edge glass solutions for optical sensor integration, have joined forces in a co-development for an innovative in-cabin LiDAR solution for vehicles to be presented at CES 2024.

This collaboration focuses on delivering an innovative, practical and visually seamless integration of LiDAR systems behind vehicle windshields. Following their joint announcement earlier this year to prioritize this integrated approach, the companies revealed an initial mockup at the Shanghai Motor Show. The upcoming product presentation is a critical milestone, showcasing a fully functional prototype featuring a full-size Wideye windshield and Seyond’s operational Robin-E LiDAR solution, complemented by additional sensors such as cameras and rain-detection technology.

The windshield has always been an obvious location for a LiDAR sensor in vehicle integration, given its high mounting position and low impact on vehicle design and its ability to protect sensors from the external environment. Seyond and Wideye have collaborated to solve major hurdles for in-cabin integration such as limiting performance drop with windshield installation angle and having an adequate heat and noise profile in a small form factor.

The demonstration unit to be presented at CES 2024 is intended to show the automotive industry how Seyond and Wideye have overcome those challenges. The aesthetically pleasing and reliable integration marks a significant step in the industry, signaling that the solution will be market-ready by 2024 to meet customers’ expectations.

“We’re very pleased to present this new integration with Wideye to the automotive community at CES,” said Junwei Bao, CEO at Seyond. “This feature is the next step in our goal to provide safer, smarter transportation across the globe, and we look forward to continued partnership and innovation with the company.”

“This is not the first time that we are developing and showcasing LiDAR integration behind the windshield, “said Gaetan Friart, CEO at Wideye. “Our vision has always been to have this in-vehicle LiDAR integration case as mainstream. However, whereas our previous efforts primarily aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of such a solution, this time we’re unveiling a product that’s closer than ever to being market-ready. It aligns precisely with industry demands, offering a large field of view while minimizing impact on vehicle design.”

The built-in LiDAR solution prototype will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 9-12 at both Seyond’s booth (#7001) and AGC’s booth (#6667) at LVCC West Hall.

Innovusion Delivers 200,000 LiDAR Units, Driving the Industry with Unprecedented Growth

Leading provider of high-performance LiDAR sensors breaks record of delivered units

Innovusion, a leading provider of high-performance LiDAR sensors and solutions, today announced that it has delivered 200,000 LiDAR units for vehicles cumulatively, achieving a significant milestone as the preeminent global leader in the LiDAR industry.

Innovusion is a rapidly growing player in the LiDAR space, holding the majority of LiDAR market share in 2022 for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, according to Yole Intelligence’s Global Automotive LiDAR Market and Technology Report 2023. The company significantly outperformed Yole Intelligence’s projected forecast from the previous year and led both sales volume and revenue for the passenger car and commercial vehicle LiDAR market in 2022. This year, Innovusion has continued to lead large-scale delivery of LiDAR sensors through various partnerships with companies like automobile manufacturer NIO, which uses Innovusion’s automotive-grade product, Falcon, in eight models, including the ET7, ES7 and ET5.

The company’s production of 200,000 units in 2023 is a significant feat considering the challenges of large-scale mass production of high-performance LiDAR. Within the automotive sector, producers must pass extremely stringent requirements for product manufacturability, supply chain maturity, production cycle and reliability while maintaining precise assembly of optical instruments, orderly mass production at a fast pace and guaranteed product performance and yield rate. LiDAR is also susceptible to the challenges of many emerging fields in the automotive industry, such as low maturity of initial industrial chains, lack of large-scale industrial production capacity, difficulty in ensuring mass production landing, production consistency and quality control.

“We’re thrilled to have achieved this milestone of producing 200,000 LiDAR units this year,” said Junwei Bao, CEO and co-founder of Innovusion. “Innovusion is highly focused on enabling mass production while ensuring we create the highest quality sensors for our customers. We look forward to further advancing LiDAR functionality and facilitating safer, smarter and more efficient large-scale applications in the future.”

Pioneering Mass Production Through Forward-looking DesignBehind the delivery of a massive quantity of units lies a dedication to designing a comprehensive product matrix to meet the ever-evolving needs of customers in the automotive and ITS industries. Innovusion’s future-oriented product development is based on the real, complex needs of automotive manufacturers and traffic technologies providers. The company aims to continually solve customers’ core engineering problems, develop timely product improvements and explore innovative design solutions.

In 2021 Innovusion developed the world’s first automotive-grade high-performance LiDAR supply chain from scratch. At present, the company’s lightweight production line has achieved 90% automation, ensuring timely and efficient production.
