Innoviz has the lidar technology Tesla and Apple need for their autonomous vehicles, says CEO

“If Tesla wants to reach full autonomous driving capabilities it will need lidar,” Omer Keilaf, co-founder and CEO of Innoviz, which develops Lidar sensors, said during Calcalist’s Israel Innovation Week conference. “Five years ago Tesla made a decision that it would sell autonomous cars and at the time it didn’t have the option to choose lidar technology as it didn’t even exist. The lidars of five years ago were very big and expensive and because they wanted to be the first company to the market they compromised on capabilities.”
