Cost still averages around $1,000 per sensor. The OEMs want to knock
a zero off of that.

couple of them moving in. " He cited Bosch, which
launched its lidar product at CES 2020, and lighting
systems specialist Osram. Bosch's in-house development contrasts with most Tier 1s.
Aptiv (with Innoviz, LeddarTech), Continental
(Aeye), Valeo and ZF (Ibeo) have partnered with or
acquired lidar start-ups to help grow their sensor technology aimed at both enhanced SAE Level 2 ADAS
applications (unofficially called " Level 2+ " ) and autonomous SAE Level 4. " I think that anyone now who has
not raised tens of millions of dollars will struggle to get
into the market, " Jellicoe asserted. Two of a handful of
lidar start-ups he deems " heavyweights, " Innoviz and
Luminar, enjoy high valuations because they've been
approved on series-production vehicle programs.
Israel-based Innoviz's product portfolio includes
InnovizPro, a solid-state lidar with a 150-m (492-ft) range
and 20-fps
rate. Its lower-cost

later this year, is aimed at ADAS applications. Luminar,
based in Florida, has demonstrated range beyond 250
m (820 ft) and a 120-degree field of view (FoV). Both
companies have gone public recently via SPAC mergers
- Special Purpose Acquisition Companies formed for
the purpose of raising investment capital through an
initial public offering (IPO). SPACs have become popular
among automotive tech start-ups, bringing high valuations to some promising organizations.
" They're among the guys raising the really big
cash because they're getting the orders, " Jellicoe said.
" And once their vehicle applications expand beyond
those of their initial customers, they'll have volume. "
Funding has not been as acute an issue at Alphabet's
Waymo autonomous-vehicle development group,
who announced in 2020 that it would begin selling its
proprietary near-range, 360-degree lidar technology
to
industry
customers in 2021.
