Think like a robot, perceive like a human.
AEye’s technology evolved from Founder, President, CTO and Board Member Luis Dussan’s work in designing reconnaissance, targeting, and defense systems for fighter jets. Dussan realized that a self-driving vehicle faces a similar challenge: it must be able to see, classify, and respond to an object – whether it is a parked car or a child crossing the street – in real time and before it’s too late. This demands the vehicle to think like a robot, but perceive like a human.
Mimicking human perception requires pushing intelligence and processing to the edge of the network, creating an integrated system that brings together artificial intelligence and software definable, smart sensors.
Enter iDAR™ (Intelligent Detection and Ranging) – the world’s first solid state, leading-edge artificial perception system for autonomous vehicles that leverages biomimicry and the three key principles of advanced targeting systems:
- Never miss anything
- Understand that all objects are not created equal
- Do everything in real time

Automotive News Announces AEye and Continental Partnership |
Among dozens of lidar companies pioneering technology that helps autonomous vehicles perceive the road ahead, many can build prototypes that effectively function. Few have production contracts that pave the way toward mass production. Lidar startup AEye Inc. joined the ranks of the latter Tuesday. |
