BMW Will Use Innoviz LiDAR in its Autonomous Vehicles

BMW has announced that it will be implementing the InnovizOne LiDAR sensor from Israeli startup Innoviz in its series production vehicles beginning in 2021. Under the deal, Innoviz will partner with Canada-based ADAS supplier, Magna, to create self-driving systems for BMW vehicles that can support level 3, 4, or even level 5 autonomy. “This is the strongest indication yet that solid-state LiDAR is the winner over mechanical spinning and other types of LiDAR technology, as it is one of the first design contracts within the automotive industry to feature solid-state LiDAR,” Omer Keilaf, CEO and co-founder, said in an email statement to Design News.
