Aeva Technologies Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Aeva Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEVA) is a pioneer in next-generation sensing and perception systems, specializing in Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology. Unlike traditional Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR systems that measure only distance and reflectivity, Aeva's proprietary 4D LiDAR-on-chip technology simultaneously measures instantaneous velocity alongside precise 3D position. This unique capability allows automated devices, such as autonomous vehicles, commercial trucks, and industrial robots, to make safer and more intelligent decisions. By integrating core optical components onto a silicon photonics platform, Aeva aims to deliver high-performance, mass-manufacturable, and cost-effective perception solutions across the automotive, industrial, and physical AI sectors.

Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Focusing on converting automotive engagements into series-production revenue, highlighted by its selection as the exclusive LiDAR supplier for a top European passenger OEM's global series-production vehicle platform for Level 3 automated driving.
Expected impact: Establishes long-term recurring revenue streams and solidifies market leadership in passenger vehicle autonomy.
Expanding into the high-precision industrial metrology and manufacturing automation markets using the Eve 1D FMCW laser displacement sensor, targeting a market estimated at over $4 billion.
Expected impact: Provides a nearer-term revenue bridge with shorter adoption cycles compared to passenger automotive platforms.
Deploying the AI-powered CityOS platform, which combines Atlas Orion 4D LiDAR sensors with edge AI perception software, to improve roadway safety and traffic operations in municipal environments.
Expected impact: Demonstrates real-world municipal utility of FMCW LiDAR in adverse weather conditions and opens up smart city infrastructure markets.
