MicroVision to Preview Next-Generation Lidar-Based Perception Platform at IAA Transportation 2026
New modular approach will bring together MicroVision lidar hardware, perception software and open sensor integration to enable flexible perception solutions across applications
REDMOND, WA AND HANOVER, GER / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2026 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in advanced perception technologies, today announced plans to unveil its MicroVision Perception Platform™ at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany next week, marking the next evolution of the company's Lidar 2.0 strategy.
The new modular platform is designed to bring together MicroVision's expanding portfolio of lidar hardware, perception software and open sensor integration into a flexible architecture that can be configured around the requirements of individual applications spanning automotive, commercial vehicles, industrial, security, defense and aerial use cases.
Rather than relying on a fixed sensor configuration or closed "black box" solution, the MicroVision Perception Platform is being designed to enable customers to combine the appropriate mix of short-, long- and emerging ultra-long-range sensing with perception software and additional sensor inputs.
At IAA, MicroVision will demonstrate how this approach can be applied across automotive, commercial vehicle and autonomous applications through multiple reference configurations and technology demonstrations.
"The future of perception isn't about finding one sensor or one configuration that works for everything," said Glen DeVos, Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision. "Different applications have different requirements, and we believe the future is about giving customers the flexibility to build the right perception solution around the problem they are trying to solve. At IAA, we'll show how MicroVision is bringing hardware, software and sensor integration together to make that possible."
Bringing Lidar 2.0 Into Focus
The MicroVision Perception Platform represents the next step in the company's Lidar 2.0 strategy: delivering the right sensing and perception capabilities at the right economics for the application.
MicroVision has built a portfolio spanning short- and long-range lidar, perception software, and SLAM capabilities, with emerging technologies including FMCW to further expand its portfolio.
The new platform is designed to bring these capabilities together within a common architecture, giving customers greater flexibility to select and configure technologies based on sensing range, field of view, operating environment, vehicle architecture and perception requirements.
At IAA, MicroVision will demonstrate several reference configurations designed to illustrate how individual technologies can work together as part of a broader perception architecture.
"What we'll unveil at IAA is bigger than any individual product," DeVos added. "It's about bringing the breadth of MicroVision's technology together and giving customers a flexible foundation for solving increasingly complex perception challenges."
