MicroVision to Install Iris Lidar on Off-Highway Mining Trucks

MicroVision has entered a master development agreement with the world’s leading construction and mining equipment manufacturer to develop and deploy its lidar sensing technologies in industrial operations. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Under the agreement, the partner will install two Iris lidar sensors on off-highway haul trucks to enable high-resolution environmental awareness, obstacle detection, and situational intelligence in complex mining sites.

If initial trials prove successful, the agreement allows for potential integration of MicroVision’s higher-resolution Halo lidar sensors in subsequent phases, expanding autonomous hauling and safety applications.

MicroVision has bolstered its product offerings through recent acquisitions of Luminar, Ibeo Automotive Systems, and Scantinel assets, complementing partnerships with Rivian, BMW, Audi and positioning it across automotive, industrial and defense markets.
