…Aeva said its proprietary 4D perception technology provides up to 20 times the resolution of legacy sensors. That enables autonomous vehicles to see up to twice the distance, the company claimed. It also said its lidar technology has better dynamic range performance to perceive low and highly reflectivity targets within the same measurement without edge effects. That allows automated machinery…
