Aeva to Showcase Passenger OEM Vehicle with Windshield-Integrated 4D LiDAR and Introduce New Sensor Technology for Physical AI at CES 2026

Key Terms

4d lidar technical

4D LiDAR is a sensor that maps the shape and position of objects around it (the 3D part) while also capturing motion or timing information (the fourth dimension), so it can tell not just where something is but whether and how fast it’s moving. For investors, this matters because sensors that see movement more clearly can improve safety, enable more advanced driverless vehicles and robots, reduce reliance on expensive complementary sensors, and influence product competitiveness and market adoption.

physical ai technical

Physical AI combines artificial intelligence with physical devices or environments, enabling machines to interact with and adapt to the real world in a human-like way. It matters to investors because it can lead to smarter robots, autonomous vehicles, or advanced sensors that improve efficiency and open new markets, potentially creating significant business opportunities and competitive advantages.

level 3 automated driving technical

Level 3 automated driving is a vehicle mode in which the car handles steering, speed and monitoring the road in specific conditions, while a human occupant can stop actively driving but must be ready to take over when the system requests. Investors care because it changes product costs, regulatory risk, liability and consumer demand—similar to giving a co-pilot control only on certain stretches, which affects safety claims, insurance and the market for sensors and software.

time-of-flight lidar technical

Time-of-flight LiDAR is a sensor that sends short pulses of laser light and measures how long each pulse takes to bounce back, using that travel time to calculate distances and build a precise 3D picture of the surroundings—think of it like timing an echo from a shout to map a room. Investors care because this technology underpins markets for self-driving cars, drones, robotics and mapping tools; improvements or cost reductions can create competitive advantages, new revenue streams, and supply-chain risks for companies involved in manufacturing or integrating these sensors.

Interactive Demonstrations Highlight How Aeva’s Perception Platform is Transforming Automation Across Automotive, Robotics, Factory Automation and Smart Infrastructure Applications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aeva® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced it will showcase a passenger OEM vehicle featuring windshield-integrated 4D LiDAR and debut a new 4D LiDAR sensor at CES 2026, taking place January 6-9 in Las Vegas. Through live, interactive demonstrations, Aeva will highlight how its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) perception platform is enabling advanced automation across automotive, robotics, factory automation and smart infrastructure applications.

New 4D LiDAR Sensor for Physical AI Applications
Aeva will introduce a new 4D LiDAR sensor for advanced sensing and perception capabilities across robotics, automotive and smart-infrastructure use cases. The sensor represents the next evolution of Aeva’s LiDAR-on-Chip perception platform and expands the company’s portfolio beyond long-range automotive sensing to support a wider spectrum of automation and Physical AI applications.

Automotive Solutions Including Passenger OEM Vehicle Demonstration
Aeva will demonstrate its latest Aeva Atlas™ Ultra 4D LiDAR sensor and feature a live demonstration of Aeva Atlas™ integrated behind the windshield of a passenger OEM vehicle. The integration illustrates how Aeva’s FMCW sensing is enabling the future of Level 3 automated driving at highway speeds. Aeva will also showcase a next-generation windshield integration design featuring the slim Atlas Ultra sensor paired with automotive-grade cameras behind a purpose-built windshield co-developed with Wideye by AGC, designed to meet stringent passenger OEM requirements for compact packaging, performance, and sensor fusion.

Smart Infrastructure & Transport Solutions
Aeva will also showcase its expanding portfolio of 4D LiDAR solutions for smart infrastructure and transport. From enhancing next-generation traffic management and safety solutions, to powering advanced aviation and rail automation, to enabling real-time airport situational awareness, Aeva’s technology is advancing safer, more efficient mobility across critical public environments.

Industrial & Factory Automation Solutions
Aeva will highlight its Aeva Eve™ 1 precision sensing portfolio for in-line factory automation. Eve 1D delivers sub-micron displacement measurement for thickness, height, vibration, and surface-profile inspection, while Eve 1V provides non-contact speed, length, and position measurement with sub-millimeter-per-second velocity accuracy. These sensors offer stable, repeatable, and maintenance-free operation, enabling real-time quality control and automation in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Live 4D LiDAR Point Cloud & Perception Demonstrations
Attendees can experience real-time point-cloud visualizations showcasing Aeva’s ability to simultaneously detect range and velocity for every point—an essential advantage over conventional 3D Time-of-Flight LiDAR systems. Combined with Aeva’s AI-driven perception software, the demos will highlight capabilities including dynamic object detection, semantic segmentation, and robust tracking in complex environments.

Why Aeva Leads in Perception
Aeva’s FMCW LiDAR-on-Chip technology provides high-resolution spatial and velocity data, enabling vehicles, robots, and industrial systems to perceive and react with greater accuracy and reliability. This leadership has led to a number of major production customer wins with leading global automotive OEMs, including Daimler Truck and a top European passenger automaker, and has accelerated adoption across manufacturing automation with partners such as Nikon, SICK AG, LMI Technologies and in the smart infrastructure market.

Where to See Aeva at CES
Aeva will exhibit its full portfolio of sensing and perception solutions at booth #6919 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Aeva’s technology will also be featured in partner exhibits, including LG Innotek at booth #3800 and AGC at booth #6653 in the West Hall.
