Innoviz has been chosen as Lidar supplier for Volkswagen's automated vehicles.

The Lidar firm will provide its InnovizTwo Lidar sensors and perception software to Cariad, a subsidiary of VW Group which builds the software platform and tech stack for well-known brands such as Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche.

Innoviz CEO and co-founder Omer Keilaf said the deal would "support safe mobility for vehicles launching from the middle of the decade".

With its third design with a major automaker - and first deal as a Tier-1 supplier - Innoviz says its forward-looking order book was updated to $6.6 billion.

Innoviz is also working with BMW to deploy the automotive-grade InnovizOne Lidar and perception software in 7 series vehicles, which will have Level 3 autonomy.

Lidar is a key element of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs).

    As vehicles become highly independent and begin to drive and react to traffic on their own, autonomous systems will aggregate and process data from a variety of on-board sensors and connected infrastructure, says ABI Research. This forces the industry to hit a hard reset on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) architectures, currently dominated by distributed processing and smart sensors. Automotive OEMs will need to adopt new platforms based on powerful, centralised processors and high-speed low la
