InnovizTwo lidar by Innoviz Technologies: status and timeline

InnovizTwo lidar

Make lidar cheap and tough enough to fit as standard on cars, robotaxis and trucks, giving them a direct 3D distance sensor that works in darkness and glare, where cameras struggle.

Current obstacles

Thin cash bufferLiquidity was about $48.5M at end-June 2026 against an $18.5M quarterly net loss, topped up by a ~$30M share sale in July.
Revenue waits on customer launchesGrowth hinges on VW, Mobileye and Daimler reaching production on time; Level 3 car programs only ramp in 2027-2028.

Physics limits

Eye safety and sunlight at 905 nm905 nm light must stay at low power to be safe for eyes, and sunlight adds noise at that wavelength, so range on dark objects falls in bright sun.
Fog and spray scatter the beamWater droplets scatter laser light and return false echoes; filtering helps, but no lidar keeps full range in dense fog.

How it works

3 parts

Laser

905 nm pulses, silicon detectors

Fires near-infrared laser pulses and times the echoes; 905 nm light can be read by low-cost silicon detectors, which keeps the sensor cheap.

Scanner

No spinning head

A compact solid-state scanner sweeps the beam over 8,000+ lines a second, so the unit can sit behind a grille or windscreen.

Software

Perception on the sensor

InnovizAPP software classifies cars, pedestrians and motorcycles and estimates their shape, speed and acceleration from the point cloud.

About Innoviz Technologies

The team behind InnovizTwo lidar

Innoviz Technologies

Solid-state lidar for cars, robotaxis and trucks

Innoviz is an Israeli maker of car-grade lidar sensors and perception software, founded in 2016. Its first sensor, InnovizOne, was chosen by BMW; InnovizTwo is its main product for carmakers, robotaxis and trucks.

2025 revenue $55.1M, more than double 2024; net loss $67.8M; 2026 guidance $67-73M.
Supplies nine lidars per VW ID. Buzz robotaxi on Mobileye Drive, in testing in six cities.
Daimler Truck and Torc chose InnovizTwo short-range lidar for Level 4 trucks (December 2025).
