Innoviz Technologies’ LiDAR sensors intergate with Dataspeed’s AV systems

Innoviz Technologies (INVZ) and Dataspeed, a provider of drive-by-wire vehicle integration and autonomous research platforms, announced a strategic collaboration for the distribution and integration of InnovizSMART LiDAR sensors into Dataspeed’s Drive-by-Wire vehicle systems for defense, agriculture, mining, automotive, and off-highway industries across North America. Dataspeed’s Drive-by-Wire platforms can be integrated into offroad autonomous vehicles, or AVs, designed for deployment across deserts, forests, open pit mines, farmland, and mountains. These environments may expose the vehicles’ sensors to mud, dirt, condensation, and airborne debris which can degrade the performance of LiDAR sensors that aren’t designed for such conditions. InnovizSMART is engineered to address challenges like these by enabling native resilience to optical blockages allowing for continuous high-resolution, long-range 3D data to be delivered into perception systems.
