Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems announced on Tuesday an agreement with Aeva to develop a LiDAR-based collision mitigation solution for Class 8 trucks.
"We're excited to expand our work with Aeva through this program as we continue advancing safety technologies for commercial vehicle fleets," says Mike Tober, CTO at Bendix. "Aeva's 4D LiDAR provides capabilities that can improve system performance in critical driving scenarios, helping support the next generation of collision mitigation solutions that perform more effectively across a wider range of real-world operating conditions."

The new solution will scale with Bendix Fusion, the company's flagship advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The company says the program underscores a broader industry shift toward the use of LiDAR for higher levels of autonomy, as well as for ADAS systems where enhanced perception can help improve safety performance.
"This program represents an important milestone in our collaboration with Bendix and a significant step toward mass production of a first-of-its-kind LiDAR-based driver assistance solution for commercial vehicles," says Mina Rezk, co-founder and CTO at Aeva. "By combining Aeva's 4D LiDAR with Bendix's industry-leading safety platform, we are positioned to deliver next-generation LiDAR-based solutinos that enhance safety and performance for commercial vehicle fleets at scale."
