California, United- Aeva Technologies Inc., has delivered initial C-sample units of its Aeva Atlas 4D LiDAR sensors to Daimler Truck North America and Torc Robotics, marking an important milestone in the development of SAE Level 4 autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks.
The delivery supports Daimler Truck’s autonomous Freightliner Cascadia program in North America, where Aeva serves as the exclusive long-range LiDAR supplier. Atlas will play a key role in the truck’s perception system by helping detect, identify and track objects at long distances, which is essential for safe highway-speed autonomous driving.
With C-sample units now delivered, Aeva and Daimler Truck will continue sensor integration, system validation and performance optimization as the autonomous truck program moves closer to series production.
Aeva’s Atlas sensor uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, enabling it to measure both distance and instant velocity for every detected point. This helps autonomous systems identify moving objects, separate them from static surroundings, and respond to potential hazards earlier with greater confidence.
The Atlas platform is designed for long-range detection of up to 500 meters, giving autonomous trucks more time to perceive road hazards and make safer decisions at highway speeds. Its performance across varied lighting and weather conditions further strengthens its role in supporting reliable autonomous trucking operations.
