Lidwave raises $10M to improve machine vision with on-chip 4D LiDAR


Lidwave has raised $10 million to make machine vision better when it comes to spotting pedestrians in a busy landscape.

By combining lasers, amplifiers, receivers, and optical routing onto one chip, Lidwave not only reduces production costs but also makes this powerful technology more accessible and reliable for a wide range of industries. Moreover, unlike conventional LiDARs, Lidwave’s coherent sensing method provides Doppler (velocity) data at the pixel level alongside depth information, enabling machines to perceive and understand their surroundings with unmatched clarity, leading to better-informed decisions. Lidwave’s seed round also saw participation from additional investors, including Sapir Venture Partners, Teramips Technologies, Beyond-Electronics, Howard Morgan (MFCIF), and the Israel Innovation Authority (non-dilutive).
