Why LiDAR’s Future Is Being Shaped in the U.S. and Why Flasheye Will Be at CES 2026

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 understanding of real-world environments is what separates experiments from infrastructure-grade systems.

That is where Flasheye operates.

Flasheye focuses on perception technology built for infrastructure monitoring, where complexity, scale, and long-term reliability matter. While the industry is 100 percent global, the challenges Flasheye addresses are universal and demand close collaboration with the markets setting today’s benchmarks.

Flasheye will be at CES 2026 to meet partners and customers and to take part in the conversations shaping the next phase of LiDAR and perception technology.
