Aeva has delivered initial C-sample units of its Atlas 4D LiDAR sensors to Daimler Truck North America and Torc Robotics, marking a significant milestone towards series production of SAE Level 4 autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks. Aeva is the exclusive long-range LiDAR supplier for autonomous Freightliner Cascadia trucks in North America. The Atlas sensor uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave technology to simultaneously measure range and velocity for every detected point, enabling long-range detection up to 500 metres. This allows autonomous trucks to perceive hazards at highway speeds and distinguish moving objects from static elements. The C-sample delivery represents a critical step as Aeva and Daimler Truck continue integration, validation and system optimisation ahead of series production deployment.
