MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 22, 2025--

Aeva ® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that Inyo Mobility, a leader in autonomous urban transportation solutions, has selected Aeva as the exclusive LiDAR supplier for its upcoming autonomous shuttle program. The partnership will integrate Aeva’s cutting-edge Aeva Atlas ™ 4D LiDAR technology into Inyo’s autonomous vehicle platform, aiming to enhance safety, perception, and operational efficiency in complex urban environments.​

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250422548401/en/

Inyo is pioneering the use of compact, lightweight vehicles in public transport, focusing on resource and cost-efficient, customizable designs tailored to specific applications throughout Europe. The Inyo CAB is a fully electric modular vehicle designed for sustainable, last-mile urban mobility, featuring a customizable interior, barrier-free access, and multiple autonomous and manually operated configurations for both passenger and cargo transport.

The collaboration between Inyo Mobility and Aeva represents a significant step forward in the deployment of autonomous vehicles for public transportation. By leveraging Aeva’s high-performance LiDAR technology, Inyo aims to enhance the safety and reliability of its shuttle services, providing cities with a dependable and efficient transportation option.​

Aeva’s 4D LiDAR, based on Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, uniquely provides simultaneous measurement of 3D position and instant velocity for each point in a scene. This capability allows autonomous vehicles to better distinguish between static and dynamic objects, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, even at long ranges and in challenging weather conditions. Aeva’s sensors can detect objects up to 500 meters away and are immune to interference from other LiDAR sensors and sunlight, making them particularly suited for urban and highway driving scenarios.​

“We are excited to partner with Aeva to equip our vehicle fleet with their state-of-the-art 4D LiDAR technology,” said Marcus Zwick, CEO of Inyo Mobility. “Aeva’s compact sensors will integrate seamlessly and provide our vehicles with a comprehensive 360-degree understanding of their surroundings, enabling safer and more reliable autonomous operation in the dynamic environments of city streets.”​

“Inyo Mobility’s commitment to deploying advanced autonomous transportation aligns perfectly with our mission to bring next-generation perception solutions to the mobility industry,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. “We look forward to supporting Inyo’s autonomous shuttle program and contribute to the advancement of safe and efficient urban mobility.”​

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Ultra-conservative José Antonio Kast secured a thumping victory in Chile’s presidential runoff election Sunday, defeating the candidate of the leftist governing coalition and setting the stage for the country’s most right-wing government in 35 years of democracy.

With over 95% of the vote counted, Kast won more than 58% of the votes as Chilean voters overwhelmingly embraced his pledge to crack down on increased crime, deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status and revive the sluggish economy of one of Latin America’s most stable and prosperous nations.

His challenger, communist candidate Jeannette Jara who served as leftist President Gabriel Boric’s popular labor minister, had just over 41% support.

“Democracy spoke loud and clear,” Jara wrote on social media, saying that she called Kast to concede defeat and congratulate him on his successful campaign.

Kast’s supporters erupted into cheers in the street, shouting his name and honking car horns.

His campaign spokesman, Arturo Squella, declared victory from the party headquarters in Chile's capital of Santiago.

“We are very proud of the work we’ve done,” he told reporters. “We feel very responsible for this tremendous challenge of taking charge of the crises that Chile is going through.”

Kast’s election represents the latest in a string of votes that have turfed out incumbent governments across Latin America, vaulting mainly right-wing leaders to power from Argentina to Bolivia.

On the surface, the two candidates in this tense presidential runoff could not have been more different, fundamentally disagreeing on weighty matters of the economy, social issues and the very purpose of government.

A lifelong member of Chile’s Communist Party who pioneered significant social welfare measures in Boric’s government and hails from a working-class family that protested against the 1973-1990 military dictatorship, Jara was a dramatic foil to her rival.

Kast, in contrast, is a devout Catholic and father of nine whose German-born father was a registered member of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party and whose brother served in the dictatorship. He had previously struggled to win over moderate voters in two failed presidential bids.

His moral conservatism, including fierce opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion without exception, had been rejected by many in the increasingly socially liberal country. The admiration he has expressed for the bloody military dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet also sparked widespread condemnation in his campaign against President Boric four years ago.

But in the past few years, fears about uncontrolled migration and organized crime have roiled the country. Enthusiasm for a hardline approach to crime spread, dominating the election and boosting Kast's law-and-order platform.
