Insights
Innoviz expands VW partnership, accelerating LiDAR integration into autonomous ID. Buzz shuttles with production beginning in 2025.
Innoviz Technologies has secured a significant expansion in its collaboration with Volkswagen Autonomous Mobility, accelerating the delivery timeline for its InnovizTwo LiDAR platform. This development represents a substantial commercial opportunity for Innoviz, as each autonomous ID. Buzz AD shuttle will incorporate nine Innoviz LiDAR units - providing comprehensive 360-degree sensing capabilities essential for Level 4 autonomous operation in complex urban environments.
The scale of this deployment is particularly noteworthy. VW plans to equip hundreds of ID. Buzz AD shuttles with Innoviz's technology in 2025, ahead of a broader fleet deployment in 2026 across multiple European and U.S. cities under VW's mobility brand MOIA. This accelerated timeline suggests strong confidence in Innoviz's technology and manufacturing readiness.
Critically, this announcement confirms Innoviz has established the production infrastructure necessary to meet high-volume automotive requirements. Their partnership with Fabrinet for mass production of the InnovizTwo platform addresses a key concern for automotive technology suppliers - scalable manufacturing capacity. The integration of both long-range and short-to-mid-range LiDAR units demonstrates Innoviz's technological versatility in meeting complex autonomous driving requirements.
For Innoviz, securing deeper integration with Volkswagen, one of the world's largest automakers, validates their Tier-1 supplier status and reinforces their technological competitiveness in the LiDAR market. This expanded partnership likely translates to significant recurring revenue potential as Volkswagen scales its autonomous mobility operations.
