Innoviz also highlighted their close collaboration with BMW, which they believed gave them a competitive edge.
They also mentioned partnerships with four Tier-1 suppliers, including Aptiv and Magna.
Additionally, they were chosen by BMW in 2018 to supply their automotive-grade InnovizOne sensor.
On March 1, 2023, Innoviz announced their fiscal year 2022 results, with earnings per share and revenue below expectations.
