AEye, Inc. LIDR
We are a provider of physical AI sensing solutions built on high-performance, active lidar systems for vehicle autonomy, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), robotic vision and a range of Non-Automotive applications. Our physical AI approach combines software‑defined sensing with adaptive perception capabilities that enable machines to interpret and respond to complex physical environments in real time. Our proprietary Intelligent Sensing Platform incorporates a solid‑state, software‑definable active lidar sensor; an adaptive SmartScan architecture that dynamically adjusts scan patterns for different scenes and targets; and a signal‑processing pipeline designed to deliver precise measurements and imaging for safety‑critical use cases. This platform is designed to support a broad set of markets beyond passenger vehicles, including rail, aerospace and defense, smart infrastructure, and security, where long‑range performance, environmental robustness, and software‑based configurability are key requirements.
Valuation FY2025 figures against the last close
Where the revenue comes from as reported in the latest 10-K
Revenue by geography
- United States
- Europe
- Asia
| Region | FY2025 |
|---|---|
| United States | $117.0K |
| Europe | $93.0K |
| Asia | $23.0K |
As the company reported it, from the “Note 16 - Revenue - Disaggregation of Revenue (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
