AEye Provides Update on Apollo 4Sight’s Record-Breaking Behind-the-Windshield Performance
AEye (Nasdaq: LIDR), a leader in adaptive, high-performance lidar solutions, announced advancements in its Apollo 4Sight™ system. Apollo has achieved record-breaking performance with its ability to detect hard-to-perceive black vehicles at over 300 meters while maintaining a 120° x 20° field of view from behind the windshield. This represents a significant improvement over traditional lidar units mounted on vehicle roofs, addressing optical challenges posed by standard glass windshields. Dynamic tests utilized a Wideye® windshield optimized for high infrared transparency, showcasing AEye's 1550-nanometer lidar capabilities.
AEye CEO Matt Fisch highlighted the advantages of this integration, including reduced system costs and a cleaner vehicle roofline. AEye claims that Apollo now offers the best lidar solution available. Attendees of CES 2025 from January 7-10 can experience live demonstrations of Apollo. Interested customers and partners can contact CES@AEye.ai for live demo inquiries.
AEye (Nasdaq: LIDR), un leader nelle soluzioni lidar adattative ad alte prestazioni, ha annunciato progressi nel suo sistema Apollo 4Sight™. Apollo ha raggiunto prestazioni da record con la sua capacità di rilevare veicoli neri difficili da percepire a oltre 300 metri mantenendo un campo visivo di 120° x 20° dietro il parabrezza. Questo rappresenta un miglioramento significativo rispetto alle unità lidar tradizionali installate sui tetti dei veicoli, affrontando le sfide ottiche poste dai parabrezza in vetro standard. I test dinamici hanno utilizzato un parabrezza Wideye® ottimizzato per l'elevata trasparenza nell'infrarosso, mostrando le capacità lidar a 1550 nanometri di AEye.
Il CEO di AEye, Matt Fisch, ha evidenziato i vantaggi di questa integrazione, tra cui la riduzione dei costi del sistema e una linea del tetto del veicolo più pulita. AEye sostiene che Apollo offre ora la migliore soluzione lidar disponibile. I partecipanti al CES 2025 dal 7 al 10 gennaio possono sperimentare dimostrazioni dal vivo di Apollo. I clienti e i partner interessati possono contattare CES@AEye.ai per richieste di dimostrazioni dal vivo.

Insights
The demonstration of Apollo 4Sight's behind-windshield performance represents an incremental technological advancement but falls short of immediate commercial significance. While the 300-meter detection range and 120° x 20° field of view through windshield glass are technically impressive, the market's focus remains on scalable production and cost-effective integration.
The use of 1550-nanometer wavelength technology with Wideye's specialized windshield presents interesting possibilities for streamlined vehicle design and potential cost reductions in mass production. However, the micro-cap status of AEye (
The CES demonstration, while valuable for industry visibility, is primarily a marketing event rather than a catalyst for immediate business growth. Without specific details on production partnerships or commercial contracts, this technological milestone alone is unlikely to materially affect the company's financial trajectory.

AEye CEO Matt Fisch said, “Our talented team continues to push the boundaries of what is possible from Apollo, our small yet powerful, software-defined lidar sensor. I am pleased to report that our Apollo sensor has proven its ability to consistently deliver high-resolution detection of hard-to-perceive black vehicles at a distance of over 300 meters, while maintaining a 120° x 20° overall field of view – all from behind the windshield.
”Apollo has a distinct advantage over other lidar units that are mounted on the top of the car to eliminate the optical challenges presented by the standard glass windshield. Our dynamic tests were performed using a windshield from Wideye®, a division of AGC, and optimized for high infrared transparency, showcasing the capabilities of AEye’s 1550-nanometer lidar.
“We expect this integration behind the windshield to provide several advantages including lower overall system costs and a cleaner roofline. Based on our rapid progress, we believe that we now have the best lidar solution currently available.”
Those attending CES January 7-10, 2025, will have the opportunity to experience Apollo firsthand through live demonstrations. For potential customers and partners interested in seeing live Apollo demos, please contact CES@AEye.ai.
