MicroVision uses IAA Transportation 2026 to debut a modular perception platform, updated MOVIA S lidar and an FMCW roadmap for future applications.

Rhea-AI Summary

MicroVision (MVIS) is showcasing its expanding lidar-based perception portfolio at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, from September 15-20, 2026.

The company is highlighting its new MicroVision Perception Platform, described as a flexible, modular architecture that can be configured for specific applications. Demonstrations at Hall 11 Booth D02 feature the latest MOVIA S short-range lidar configuration, HALO long-range lidar, a first look at the anticipated form factor for Scantinel FMCW ultra-long-range sensing technology, and a new commercial vehicle perception concept. Driving demos combine MOVIA S and HALO to show complementary short- and long-range sensing, and production of the new MOVIA S configuration is expected to begin in October 2026.

MicroVision is also presenting perception software and SLAM-based mapping, plus guided booth tours and technical talks on short- and long-range perception for commercial vehicles.

"advanced perception technologies, is showcasing the expanding breadth of its sensing"

Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.

fmcw technical

"A first look at MicroVision's much-anticipated FMCW ultra-long-range sensing technology"

Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) is a radar signaling technique that sends a continuous radio signal whose frequency steadily changes, then measures the delay and frequency shift of the echo to determine how far away objects are and how fast they are moving. Think of it like whistling a slide whistle and timing how the changed pitch of the echo tells you distance and motion; for investors, FMCW matters because it underpins many low-cost, high-resolution sensing products—used in automotive safety, drones, and industrial automation—affecting a maker's performance, market competitiveness, and potential regulatory acceptance.

point-cloud technical

"The demonstration showcases advancements in point-cloud quality"

A point cloud is a digital collection of many individual dots that record the shape and position of objects or environments, usually captured by lasers, radar, or depth cameras. Like a 3D connect‑the‑dots picture, point clouds let software and machines recreate real spaces for mapping, inspection, robotics and autonomous vehicles, so improvements or wider adoption can directly influence companies and markets that rely on spatial sensing and data processing.

New Perception Platform, next-generation MOVIA S, HALO, FMCW technology, and commercial vehicle concept demonstrate MicroVision's Lidar 2.0 strategy in action

REDMOND, WA AND HANOVER, GER / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in advanced perception technologies, is showcasing the expanding breadth of its sensing and perception portfolio this week at IAA Transportation 2026, demonstrating how lidar hardware, perception software, and open sensor integration can work together to address increasingly complex applications across transportation and autonomy.

At the center of MicroVision's IAA presence is the newly introduced MicroVision Perception Platform™, a flexible, modular architecture designed to allow sensing and perception configurations to be tailored to the requirements of individual applications.

Throughout IAA, MicroVision is bringing that strategy to life through a series of technology demonstrations and reference concepts spanning passenger vehicles, commercial transportation and emerging autonomous applications.

Visitors to the MicroVision display, located in Hall 11 Booth D02, can experience:

• The new MicroVision Perception Platform
• The latest configuration of MOVIA™ S short-range lidar
• HALO™ long-range lidar
• A first look at MicroVision's much-anticipated FMCW ultra-long-range sensing technology
• A new commercial vehicle perception concept
• Advances in perception software and SLAM-based mapping

"IAA gives customers the opportunity to see our Lidar 2.0 strategy come together in one place," said Glen DeVos, Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision. "We're demonstrating the breadth of our portfolio, but more importantly, we're showing how those technologies can work together to solve very different perception challenges. That's the opportunity we see for MicroVision: not simply providing sensors but helping customers build the right perception solution for the application."

Next-Generation MOVIA S Takes To the Road

At IAA, MicroVision is providing attendees with a preview of the latest MOVIA S configuration alongside HALO in driving demonstrations. The demonstration showcases advancements in point-cloud quality, perception and SLAM-based mapping and highlights MicroVision's progress toward commercial availability of the next-generation MOVIA S. Production of the new MOVIA S configuration is expected to begin in October 2026.

Together, MOVIA S and HALO also demonstrate how short- and long-range sensing can provide complementary fields of view and sensing ranges as part of a configurable perception architecture.

First Look at MicroVision's Scantinel FMCW Technology

MicroVision is also providing IAA attendees with a first look at the anticipated form factor for its FMCW ultra-long-range sensing technology.

The technology provides a glimpse into MicroVision's roadmap for next-generation lidar and its potential to extend perception capabilities across commercial, industrial, automotive, and autonomous applications.

FMCW has the potential to combine ultra-long-range sensing with additional velocity information, opening new opportunities for perception systems operating in complex and dynamic environments.

"Our portfolio is being built around a simple idea: perception should adapt to the application rather than forcing the application to adapt to the sensor," said DeVos. "That means giving customers choices across sensing range, form factor, software and architecture today while building a platform that can incorporate emerging technologies as they mature."

Bringing Advanced Perception to Commercial Vehicles

IAA Transportation also provides MicroVision with an opportunity to demonstrate how its technology can address the distinct perception requirements of commercial vehicles.

A new commercial vehicle concept combines the MicroVision Perception Platform with MOVIA S and HALO sensors to illustrate how configurable, 360-degree sensing and perception could support increasingly automated commercial vehicles. Potential applications span highway trucking, autonomous freight, last-mile delivery, buses, refuse vehicles, construction equipment, mining, and logistics fleets.

Through a demonstration at the MicroVision booth, attendees can see potential functions including object and pedestrian detection, blind-zone monitoring, free-space detection, obstacle awareness, low-speed maneuvering, and autonomous operation.

The concept builds on MicroVision's growing work across real-world industrial and autonomous applications, including mining, hauling, aerial autonomy, and other environments where reliable perception is critical to safe operation.

One Portfolio. Multiple Applications.

Together, the technologies showcased at IAA demonstrate the broader evolution of MicroVision's strategy.

Through Lidar 2.0, MicroVision has assembled a portfolio spanning short-, long- and emerging ultra-long-range sensing, complemented by perception software, SLAM capabilities and an open architecture designed to incorporate additional sensor inputs.

The MicroVision Perception Platform provides a framework for bringing those capabilities together and configuring them around the needs of different applications.

"What we want customers to see when they visit us at IAA is the breadth of what MicroVision can now offer," DeVos added. "We have the sensing technologies, software and architecture to address perception challenges across a much broader range of applications. We're building a next-generation perception company."
