MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Aeva Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEVA), an autonomous vehicle technology company with a market capitalization of $845 million and impressive year-to-date returns exceeding 215%, announced on Tuesday the launch of AevaScenes, a public dataset featuring synchronized frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR and camera data for autonomous vehicle perception research. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, positioning it well for continued innovation.
The dataset, now available for academic and non-commercial use, includes object velocity measurements, semantic segmentation, tracking, and lane line annotations captured in the San Francisco Bay Area.
AevaScenes consists of 100 curated sequences with 10,000 frames of time-synchronized data collected across urban and highway environments in both day and night conditions. The company states the dataset provides annotations for object detection at distances up to 400 meters.
"AevaScenes is the first dataset to bring together long-range FMCW LiDAR with velocity information and rich camera data, creating a new benchmark for perception research," said James Reuther, Chief Engineer at Aeva, according to the press release.
The dataset features data from six Aeva FMCW LiDAR sensors and six high-resolution RGB cameras mounted on Mercedes Metris test vehicles. The sensor configuration includes both wide and narrow fields of view options.
The approximately 200 GB dataset is structured in PCD point clouds, JPEG images, and JSON annotations formats, with all sequences captured in clear weather conditions with dry road surfaces.
Aeva describes the dataset as designed to accelerate research in autonomous vehicle perception and expand adoption of FMCW LiDAR technology. The company indicates researchers can access AevaScenes through an interactive web interface at scenes.aeva.com.
The dataset release comes as Aeva continues development of its LiDAR-on-chip technology that integrates system-on-chip processing and perception algorithms onto silicon leveraging silicon photonics. With analysts forecasting sales growth of 104% for the current year, InvestingPro analysis reveals 14 additional key insights about Aeva’s financial health and market position. While the company’s stock has shown significant volatility, analysts maintain a bullish consensus with price targets suggesting potential upside from current levels.
In other recent news, Aeva Technologies reported a significant milestone with its second-quarter 2025 earnings, achieving record revenue of $5.5 million. Despite the strong financial performance, the company outlined ambitious growth plans, projecting 100-110% revenue growth for 2025. In another development, Canaccord Genuity raised its price target for Aeva Technologies to $24 from $16, maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. This adjustment reflects changes in Canaccord’s financial model for the lidar technology company. Additionally, Aeva launched its Atlas Orion 4D LiDAR sensor, designed for smart infrastructure and security applications, certified to meet NEMA-TS2 traffic control systems standards. The sensor features an integrated power-over-ethernet interface for simplified deployment. Furthermore, Aeva introduced the Aeva Eve 1V, a high-precision non-contact motion sensor for industrial applications, utilizing its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave sensing technology. These recent developments highlight Aeva’s continued innovation and expansion in the sensor technology market.
