AEye offers unique software-defined lidar solutions that enable advanced driver-assistance, vehicle autonomy, smart infrastructure, security, and logistics applications that save lives and propel the future of transportation and mobility. AEye’s flagship product, Apollo, has been widely recognized for its small form factor and its ability to detect objects at up to one kilometer. In addition to Apollo as a stand-alone sensor, AEye also offers a full-stack solution through its OPTIS™ platform. OPTIS™ provides a complete system that captures a high-resolution 3D image of the world, interprets it, and provides direction to act upon what it sees in real-time.

indie is empowering the Autotech revolution with next-generation automotive semiconductors and software platforms. We focus on edge sensors spanning multiple modalities, including LiDAR, radar, ultrasound and computer vision for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), user experience and electrification applications. These technologies represent the core underpinnings of both electric and autonomous vehicles while our advanced user interfaces enabled by our mixed-signal SoCs transform the in-cabin experience to mirror and seamlessly connect to the mobile platforms we rely on every day. We are an approved vendor to Tier 1 partners and our solutions can be found in marquee automotive OEMs around the world.

Follow us there so you don’t miss any updates: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ambarella Ambarella, Inc., an edge AI semiconductor and software company, acquired Oculii and its AI radar solutions. The Oculii™ adaptive AI software algorithms enable radar perception using current production radar chips to achieve significantly higher (up to 100X) resolution, longer range and greater accuracy. These improvements eliminate the need for specialized high-resolution radar chips, which have significantly higher power consumption and cost than conventional radar solutions. Ambarella’s Oculii AI radar software can be deployed on Ambarella’s CVflow® AI SoCs, operating in conjunction with leading radar RF solutions to increase safety and reliability. Ambarella also offers integrated Oculii AI radar modules that provide drop-in-ready, full-stack radar sensing solutions.

Fliteboard is the world’s leading electric foil brand. The business was founded in 2016 to introduce a new category of environmentally friendly powered watercraft. Fliteboard products provide the sensation of flying over water - while being emission free, wake free, and virtually silent. Fliteboard has been recognised through prestigious awards including: The Good Design Award (Best-in-Class & Gold), Industrial Designers Society of America (Silver), Australia by Design “Innovation of the year”, German Design Award, Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’ Award, Robb Report ‘Best of the Best’, Green Product Award, and Luxury Innovation Award. Fliteboarding has become a popular sport worldwide on lakes, rivers, and the ocean, and is fast becoming the most popular super yacht accessory. Over 9,000 Fliteboards have been sold across 90 countries, and the Fliteboard community has logged more than 60,000 rides in the Flite App. Fliteboard has developed a number of patented technologies to power its products including Flitebox, Unibody Fuselage, Virtual Gears, as well as the market leading Flitecell marine battery range. Fliteboard is investing significant resources in research and development, and is set to launch new products across a number of electric marine and foiling categories over the next few years.

Apex.AI is a Palo Alto, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, and Gothenburg-based company developing breakthrough safe, certified, developer-friendly, and scalable software for mobility systems. ​ Our software products are based on proven open-source software, such as ROS or Eclipse iceoryx. We fork software that has been developed and proven in use by large developer communities. We then add what is missing: Functional safety, flawless performance, and support for application in commercial and safety-critical products. In order to do so, we have developed a proprietary process to rework open-source software in record time such that it conforms to the highest requirements of the applicable functional safety standard. Distinguished by our experienced and agile team, we bring in the right pedigree: Expertise in modern software engineering to build software that scales, leading know-how in software functional safety, experience bringing software to market, and twenty-plus years of experience building autonomous systems. We launched our award-winning first product Apex.Grace, formerly known as Apex.OS in 2020 and have taken it through certification in record time for launch in 2021. We enable software-defined vehicles. Learn more about us at www.apex.ai
