Aeva Technologies (NASDAQ:AEVA) is a technology company specializing in the development and commercialization of advanced sensing and perception solutions based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Aeva’s core products include solid-state LiDAR sensors and perception software designed to provide high-resolution, long-range 4D data for automotive, industrial and robotic applications. The company’s FMCW approach enables simultaneous measurement of both object velocity and distance, distinguishing Aeva’s systems from traditional time-of-flight LiDAR solutions.
Founded in 2016 by Soroush Salehian and Mina Rezk, Aeva began as Aeon Imaging before adopting its current name in 2019. The company completed its initial public offering via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company in early 2021. Since going public, Aeva has focused on scaling production, forging relationships with automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers, and expanding its global footprint.
Aeva’s products are used in a range of applications, from advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle platforms to logistics automation and industrial mapping. The company’s LiDAR modules are designed to operate in diverse environmental conditions, providing robust performance in rain, fog and direct sunlight. Aeva also offers perception software that processes sensor data to identify and track objects in real time, supporting higher levels of autonomy.
Serving customers across North America, Europe and Asia, Aeva collaborates with leading automotive firms and technology partners to integrate its sensing solutions into next-generation mobility platforms. Under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Soroush Salehian, the company continues to invest in research and development, aiming to drive broader adoption of LiDAR technology in both passenger and commercial vehicle markets.
