Innoviz Technologies and Outsight are partnering to accelerate Lidar adoption in Smart Cities and ITS applications.
 
They will combine Innoviz’s high-performance Lidar, InnovizOne, with Outsight’s spatial intelligence software, which offers a plug-and-play solution for effectively integrating 3D Lidar data into any infrastructure or vehicle application.
 
“We aren’t in the early days of Lidar anymore," says said Raul Bravo, president and co-founder of Outsight.

"At that time demonstration-level sensor prototypes and research-level algorithms were sufficient to ignite the market and gave birth to the current leaders in Lidar hardware and software. Non-automotive markets that will deploy Lidar at scale require a whole new level of maturity, with high-performing and reliable hardware like Innoviz’s Lidar sensors, combined with scalable and easy to use software solutions like Outsight’s.” 
 
Outsight says its software makes Lidar technology easier to use in any project, both in edge processing and the cloud, including features like object detection and tracking, classification and segmentation. 

Innoviz's Lidar is already being used to monitor pedestrian safety in Los Angeles, says Omer Keilaf, co-founder and CEO of Innoviz.

We’re excited to partner with Outsight to continue to accelerate adoption of our Lidar technologies and power use cases also across ITS, smart infrastructure, smart industrial and more," he adds.       
 
Both companies will be at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, US, from 5-8 January, and will present the use case at Innoviz’s booth (#6553) at 2pm on Wednesday, 5 January, followed by a Q&A session.
