Innoviz Technologies develops solid-state LiDAR sensors and perception software for automotive autonomous driving applications. The company's product line includes InnovizOne, InnovizTwo, and InnovizThree hardware platforms, complemented by perception software that integrates AI and machine learning capabilities for 3D object detection and scene understanding. The technical approach centers on solid-state architecture designed to meet automotive-grade safety requirements while enabling mass production scalability - a constraint that has historically limited LiDAR deployment in production vehicles.
The company's technology has been selected by BMW for integration into Level 3-5 autonomous vehicle programs, representing validation of both the hardware reliability and the perception stack's performance in production environments. Innoviz maintains partnerships with Tier 1 automotive suppliers including HARMAN, Magna, and Aptiv for integration and manufacturing. The system architecture is designed to operate across extreme lighting conditions, from low-light scenarios to high solar irradiance, addressing one of the fundamental challenges in outdoor perception systems.
Engineering work at Innoviz spans the full sensor and perception pipeline: ASIC and VLSI design for the LiDAR hardware, embedded systems development for sensor control and data processing, and perception algorithm implementation using C++, Python, and ROS. The development environment includes MATLAB for algorithm prototyping and validation. Founded by engineers with backgrounds in defense technology from the Israeli Defense Forces, the company is headquartered in Israel and focuses on automotive, robotaxi, and smart infrastructure markets where high-precision 3D sensing is required for safe autonomous operation.
