Daimler Truck, one of the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, has selected Innoviz Technologies Ltd. as a supplier for short-range "LiDAR" systems ("LiDAR" = Light Detection and Ranging) through its subsidiary Torc Robotics. These systems are used for precise distance measurement and environmental perception. Innoviz is a leading Tier-1 supplier of high-performance "LiDAR" sensor platforms and corresponding software that meet stringent automotive quality standards, as stated in detail. The "LiDAR" systems will be installed as standard in SAE Level 4 autonomous trucks from Daimler Truck and Torc in the future. As part of the collaboration, Innoviz will supply its "InnovizTwo" short-range "LiDAR" sensors to Daimler Truck and Torc.

Autonomous Level 4 Truck Driving Soon in the USA

In addition, the three parties are also working closely on the development of sensor technology and customizing it specifically for commercial applications in heavy-duty trucks, as further reported. The Innoviz technology is planned to be integrated into the autonomous Freightliner Cascadia, where it will be combined with Torc's virtual driving software. This is considered one of the key components of Level 4 autonomous driving, where vehicles are permitted to operate fully independently in certain environments. The market launch of autonomous trucks is initially planned for long-haul routes within the U.S.—both nationally and regionally—to provide fleet operators with improved operational efficiency and enhanced road safety, as stated in conclusion.
