<\/p>\nKudan Inc. (headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO Daiu Ko, hereafter \u201cKudan\u201d) is pleased to announce its partnership with Innoviz Technologies (Nasdaq: INVZ, hereafter \u201cInnoviz\u201d), a technology leader of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensors and perception software. This partnership allows machines to generate 3D maps of surrounding environments and gain autonomous mobility based on Kudan\u2019s perception software and Innoviz LiDARs with superior accuracy, robustness and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cooperation between Kudan and Innoviz addresses the growing need for 3D digital mapping solutions leveraging \u201cSimultaneous Localization and Mapping\u201d (SLAM) technology. Since autonomous decisions depend on the quality of the information, perception of the environment is critical for machines. Coupled with Innoviz\u2019s LiDAR scanning, the SLAM technology enables a dynamic mapping of the environment with accurate, high-density, colorized 3D point cloud generation. With the global presence and strong networks of both companies, this partnership is a key enabler for a broad set of uses, including HD maps, robotics, construction, surveying, and \u201cdigital twinning\u201d and \u201cindustrial metaverse\u201d applications.<\/p>\n
In addition to enabling non-automotive applications, Kudan SLAM software also gives autonomous vehicles the ability to view and act upon changes to their environment in real-time, by providing highly accurate, reliable results that allow vehicles to react to their surroundings. Innoviz\u2019s high-performing LiDARs deliver a rich 3D point cloud at distances up to 250 meters. Resilient to sunlight and weather conditions, Innoviz\u2019s LiDARs contribute to the accuracy and reliability of Kudan\u2019s SLAM software for safe automotive and non-automotive applications.<\/p>\n
\u201cInnoviz is excited to promote our mapping collaboration both in automotive applications and beyond with the Kudan SLAM solution,\u201d said Omer Keilaf, co-founder and CEO of Innoviz<\/strong>. \u201cKudan\u2019s SLAM software and related tools are a great fit with Innoviz\u2019s products and we see great opportunity in a number of applications, including HD mapping for autonomous driving, robotics, geospatial mapping and surveying. We\u2019re also seeing traction in Asia that demonstrates high demand for our LiDAR technology for automotive and non-automotive applications.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe need of leveraging LiDAR SLAM-based mapping for digital transformation in various industries has continued to grow and has never been more urgent,\u201d said Daiu Ko, CEO of Kudan<\/strong>. \u201cUnder this new partnership with Innoviz, we look forward to bringing the best mapping solution to the market in terms of use case coverage and return over investment across different vertical domains.\u201d<\/p>\n Kudan and Innoviz will collaborate on digital mapping projects in Japan and globally, and we will continue to provide updates on our collaboration in the future.<\/p>\n About Innoviz Technologies<\/strong><\/span> Join the discussion: Facebook<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n Media Contact About Kudan Inc.<\/strong><\/span> \u25a0Company Details
