Innoviz Technologies has received the 2019 CES "Best of Innovation" honor for its InnovizOne automotive-grade solid-state LiDAR and Computer Vision software. The first and only LiDAR capable of delivering a commercially viable, automotive-grade, solid-state sensor, InnovizOne represents an unprecedented combination of safety, reliability, compact size and affordability together in one of the most high-performance 3D sensing solutions in the industry.
Hailed as the most outstanding product in the "Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology" category by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), Innoviz will be showcased at the upcoming CES 2019 on January 8-11 in Las Vegas. The annual CES Innovation Awards program--judged by an expert team of industrial designers, independent engineers and members of the trade press in the autonomous vehicles sector--celebrates outstanding product design and engineering in new technology products.
Mass adoption of LiDAR, widely considered the key building block in the race to commercialize autonomous vehicles, has historically been throttled by poor performance and exorbitant price points, among other deficiencies. BMW's recent decision to deploy InnovizOne as part of its autonomous vehicles program beginning in 2021 indicated a paradigm shift within the industry and clearly signaled Innoviz's solution as the best fit for mass-produced autonomous vehicles.
Innoviz's LiDAR solution offers unique solid-state, MEMS-based design, providing the superior depth perception necessary for Levels 3 - 5 of autonomous driving. Combined, InnovizOne and Innoviz's Computer Vision software deliver a complete software stack for autonomous vehicles, turning the LiDAR's superior data and 3D point cloud into meaningful driving decisions through industry-leading object detection, classification, tracking, lane marking, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software and more – all while meeting or exceeding the stringent requirements of OEMs and technology companies.
In 2018, Innoviz also received CES Innovation Awards Honoree recognition in the same category for its groundbreaking InnovizPro high-definition, solid-state LiDAR. CES attendees can experience Innoviz's award-winning LiDAR sensor technology at Booth #1415 in Westgate, Tech East. It will also be featured in the Innovation Awards Showcase in Tech West, Venetian Ballroom E/F.
Produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), CES 2019 is the world's premier gathering place for technology, featuring 180,000 visitors and 4,500 exhibitors across 2.75 million net square feet of exhibit space. The award represents recognition from the CTA for outstanding design and engineering achievement and honorees are selected by a panel of technology designers, engineers and members of the media.
