DVN Lidar became DVN Sensing & Applications in January 2025. For the introductory four months, the new DVNSA Newsletter was open to the DVN community or based on a simple registration on web-site. This will change from May 2025; only members will receive the in-depth newsletters. A three-month free trial will be offered to newcomers. So: if you haven’t already done so, now’s the time to sign up for your full membership or to contact us.
In this edition of your DVNSA Newsletter, we bring you coverage of L2+ applications, becoming popular with European automakers as we can see with the cooperation of VW with Valeo and Mobileye. As expected, European brands have to catch up with the NOA applications which are now popular for EVs in China, with installation rates exceeding 40 per cent.
We also bring you news of lidar business growth at Hesai, who sold over half a million units in 2024, and an interview with Obsidian about their innovative low-cost technology for IR cameras.
Forthcoming DVN Events
• AEB Workshop · FMVSS 127 (Detroit, 9-10 April)

We’re ever so glad you’re here with us in the DVNSA community.
Enjoy this newsletter!
All best,
