Classified object such as people, vehicles, and gates. The gap between headlines and city budgets Autonomous vehicles dominate headlines, but city budgets tell a different story. While public attention remains fixed on robotaxis and self-driving promises, cities are making quieter and more practical investments. One of the clearest signals is that many cities are deploying fixed LiDAR infrastructure years before autonomous vehicles are ready to scale. Cities cannot afford to

Site monitoring from the infrastructure, each zone has a unique task. What is Infrastructure Perception? Automation is no longer limited to brand new equipment or mobile robots. With the right perception layer, even existing and old machines can gain awareness of their surroundings and act more intelligently. Instead of mounting sensors on every asset, stationary lidar installations continuously observes an area in three dimensions. The perception software interprets this dat

LiDAR is a global technology, but the direction and pace of its development are strongly influenced by the United States. From infrastructure and defense to autonomous systems and smart cities, the U.S. continues to shape standards, funding priorities, and large-scale deployments that define where the industry goes next. As the market matures, hardware alone is no longer the differentiator. The real value is moving into perception. Turning LiDAR data into reliable, actionable

The LiDAR view of the Christmas Market Large public events like Christmas markets, festivals, and concerts bring people together, but they also bring complex safety challenges. At the Frankfurt Christmas Market, Innoviz , Urban Lighting Innovations, and Flasheye demonstrated how LiDAR can support safer, smarter cities without compromising privacy or trust. It’s not about watching people. It’s about understanding space. 3 Problems LiDAR Solves in Large Events 1: Overcrowdi

A top-view of the perception software For decades, security has relied on cameras, radar, fences, and human monitoring. While effective in specific use cases, each comes with fundamental limitations. LiDAR changes the equation. Once expensive and niche, LiDAR is now affordable and powerful to redefine how security systems operate. Here are ten reasons why LiDAR is transforming the security industry. 1. True Volumetric and Spatial Awareness LiDAR does not just see surfaces - i

Detected people in the perception software From multi-million engineering projects to webshops For a long time, true spatial perception was something only a handful of companies could afford. Full Lidar systems, custom hardware, and heavy engineering made up projects that easily climbed into the millions. They were impressive, but also exclusive. Only a few players could justify the cost. That landscape is changing quickly. New generations of inexpensive yet capable hardware,
