Quick Takeaways
- Aeva is showcasing windshield-integrated 4D LiDAR at CES 2026, demonstrating production-ready Level 3 highway automation using FMCW technology.
- The company is extending its LiDAR platform beyond vehicles into factory automation and physical AI-driven industrial sensing.
On December 16, Aeva confirmed it will present a passenger vehicle equipped with windshield-integrated Aeva 4D LiDAR and unveil a new sensor platform at CES 2026, underscoring how frequency-modulated continuous wave technology is shaping the next phase of vehicle automation and physical AI applications.
The company will demonstrate how its Aeva 4D LiDAR perception stack, based on Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, delivers long-range sensing, instant velocity data, and interference-resilient performance. These capabilities are being applied across automotive automation, robotics, factory systems, and intelligent infrastructure, where precision and reliability are critical.
Aeva 4D LiDAR Enables Level 3 Highway Automation
A central highlight at CES 2026 will be a passenger OEM vehicle featuring Aeva 4D LiDAR discreetly mounted behind the windshield. This integration supports Level 3 automated driving at highway speeds while maintaining vehicle design integrity and reducing external sensor clutter.
By embedding the sensor behind the windshield, Aeva demonstrates how advanced perception can be production-ready without compromising aerodynamics, styling, or regulatory requirements. The approach also simplifies sensor protection and system integration for OEMs targeting scalable autonomy programs.
Next-Generation 4D LiDAR Sensor and Windshield Integration
Aeva will debut a new 4D LiDAR sensor representing the latest evolution of its LiDAR-on-Chip architecture. The sensor is designed to extend sensing range, resolution, and robustness, enabling broader deployment across advanced driver assistance and automated driving systems.
The company will also showcase a next-generation windshield integration concept that pairs the slim Atlas Ultra sensor with automotive-grade cameras. This solution is co-developed with Wideye by AGC and uses a purpose-built windshield optimized for sensor transparency, alignment, and durability.
Aeva 4D LiDAR Platform Extends Beyond Automotive
Beyond mobility applications, Aeva will present its Eve precision sensing portfolio for in-line factory automation. The Eve 1D system enables sub-micron displacement measurement for thickness, height, vibration, and surface profiling, supporting high-accuracy quality control.
Eve 1V complements this with non-contact speed, length, and position measurement, delivering sub-millimeter-per-second velocity accuracy. Together, these solutions highlight how Aeva’s core sensing technology supports both automotive automation and industrial digitalization at scale.
As CES 2026 approaches, Aeva’s showcase signals a broader shift toward tightly integrated sensing platforms that combine autonomy, manufacturing precision, and physical AI into a unified technology roadmap.
