Summary: Innoviz has unveiled InnovizThree, its next-generation automotive LiDAR designed to significantly reduce cost, size and power consumption while improving performance over InnovizTwo. Weighing just 600g and costing over 35% less, InnovizThree delivers detection ranges beyond 250 metres and supports flexible mounting positions, including behind the windshield. The sensor is positioned as a scalable, automotive-grade solution for next-generation autonomous systems and edge AI platforms.
Engineering takeaway: InnovizThree combines slimmer mechanical packaging with lower power operation (down to 13W) without sacrificing long-range perception performance. The design enables behind-the-windshield integration, reducing aerodynamic, acoustic and styling constraints. Improved cost efficiency alongside higher sensing performance supports broader fleet-level deployment.
Why it matters: Cost, packaging and power consumption remain major barriers to LiDAR adoption at scale. By addressing all three simultaneously, InnovizThree makes high-performance LiDAR more viable for series production autonomous vehicles. Strategically, it strengthens Innoviz’s position as OEMs push toward economically scalable autonomy architectures.
Innoviz Technologies Ltd, a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms and complementary software stacks, launched today the Company’s latest development: the InnovizThree LiDAR. InnovizThree was designed with slimmer dimensions and lower power consumption, all while delivering exceptionally high-performance at a dramatically reduced price compared to InnovizTwo. The newly slimmed-down design allows InnovizThree to be seamlessly integrated behind the windshield or on the rooftop, offering automakers the utmost design flexibility for their needs.
InnovizThree couples improved sensing power and high efficiency with automotive-grade reliability, scalable across vehicle fleets and built to power the next generation of autonomous systems with unprecedented speed, safety, and effectiveness.
Key features of InnovizThree include:
- A slimmer body, only 600 grams in weight, with significantly smaller lateral dimensions allowing for seamless deployment into the roof interior, behind the windshield, and in the front grille, providing OEMs with maximum installation flexibility. These dimensions are also ideal for AI enhanced platforms such as humanoids, micro robotics and drones.
- A lower cost, dramatically reduced by over 35% from the InnovizTwo, while enhancing performance capabilities, enabling superior long-distance accuracy and perception with detection ranges extending beyond 250 meters.
- Flexible operational modes including a low-power mode at 13W for energy efficiency, enabling seamless behind-the-windshield installation without cabin noise disturbance.
“InnovizThree is our answer to the automotive industry’s most pressing challenge: delivering high-performance LiDAR that is both economically viable and scalable,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz Technologies. “With unmatched range and resolution, InnovizThree meets OEM requirements with the quality of vision required for safe, autonomous driving. As the future of mobility unfolds with edge AI, real-time decision-making, and increasingly complex environments, Innoviz solutions will be there to deliver the speed, precision, and reliability that tomorrow’s vehicles demand.”
Live InnovizThree Demonstration at CES 2026, Booth #7318
Innoviz is participating in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, taking place from January 6th until January 9th in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. As part of the live demonstrations at the booth, visitors will be able to see for the first time a live demonstration of the InnovizThree, as well as a display purpose-built to show a LiDAR mounted behind the windshield.
