Advanced LiDAR development agreement between Baraja and Veoneer

In order to achieve the necessary scale for automotive integration more quickly, Baraja and its partner, Tier 1 automotive supplier Veoneer, entered into the agreement.

The Collaboration

Baraja’s LiDAR technology has undergone a thorough engineering sample evaluation by Veoneer. This is a significant accomplishment for Baraja; it will strengthen the effectiveness of the technology at the automotive scale. Veoneer carefully considered 70 LiDAR technology companies worldwide before collaborating with Baraja. Baraja was chosen because of its reliable product and technological roadmap, which makes it one of the smallest-size LiDAR technologies to enable extensive vehicle integration. 

The advanced development agreement represents a significant leap for the Spectrum HD25 product’s automotive integration by bringing together global experts in vehicle safety and showcasing the product’s backing from Tier One, OEMs, and partners. According to the agreement, Baraja will move on to the following phase of Spectrum HD25 development. Since joining forces, Baraja and Veoneer have collaborated closely and built a solid alliance to offer LiDAR technology to major automakers worldwide.
