Aeva and Wideye by AGC have announced a joint demonstration of the industry’s first functional FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) in-cabin 4D LiDAR solution for passenger vehicles at CES 2025.
The advanced integration of the Aeva Atlas™ 4D LiDAR sensor behind the windshield combines the benefits of a high mounting position for enhanced long-range sensing with minimal impact on vehicle design and aerodynamics. Custom-formulated glass from Wideye, compatible with Aeva’s unique FMCW wavelength, increases infrared light transmission while maintaining LiDAR point cloud quality. Wideye glass benefits from high infrared transparency with nearly zero absorption, allowing the LiDAR sensor to deliver a high-end performance at full detection range. Placing the LiDAR sensor behind the windshield protects from external elements and allows for easy cleaning of potential obstructions. Inside the cabin, the compact housing ensures road visibility while the sensor’s low power consumption and passive cooling support a quiet cabin and passenger comfort.
