SENSE
AT A GLANCE.
Sense Photonics is creating a new paradigm in 3D vision.
Founded in 2016, our proprietary flash LiDAR produces stunning 3D data and offers unparalleled flexibility for automotive OEMs. With a proven architecture built on scalable VCSEL & SPAD technology, Sense’s new LiDAR platform leapfrogs the competition for exponential advancements in assisted and automated driving.
We are on a mission to democratize 3D vision for a safer, greener, more productive world. And we’re just getting started.
The Five I's
At Sense, we love tackling the biggest challenges facing our customers. To do this, we are driven by the “Five I”s: Innovation, Invention, Integration, Integrity and Inspiration.
1.
Innovation
Our founders started this company by envisioning how a technology reshaping the solar industry could radically advance another, and this type of transformational thinking continues to guide everything we do.
2.
Invention
We have assembled a team of the most creative technical minds in the business – remarkable people who know how to develop new technologies to solve the “unsolvable” problems.
3.
Integration
We believe the sum is greater than the parts, which is why our team is composed of individuals from very diverse backgrounds who come together to bring fresh ideas and approaches to every customer problem we tackle – and everyone is the better for it.
4.
Integrity
We are one team – transparent, honest, collaborative and reliable. We get things done together. We encourage constructive debate, and in doing so we drive to the truth and core first principles.
5.
Inspiration
The collective experience and raw intellect of our team creates endless opportunities for inspiration, and the passion and commitment each team member has toward their work – and just as importantly, each other – motivates all of us to do our best, every time.

WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
Stunning 3D Data
Powered by our patented SPAD & VCSEL technologies, the Sense flash architecture utilizes global shutter acquisition to produce incredible high-resolution 3D vision up to 200 meters away for 10% reflective targets in full sunlight – with no motion blur and no data gaps.
Unparalleled Platform Flexibility
Our technology is designed as a flexible platform architecture that can be easily adapted to different form-factors and sensor configurations to provide 3D output and vehicle design freedoms no one else can achieve.
Proven Scalability
Our laser & receiver technologies are built on the same semiconductor processes proven in mass consumer electronics. Without any electronic or mechanical scanning, our solid-state design offers the durability, reliability, and affordability needed for automotive series production programs.
