AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIDR) announced that AEye co-founder and General Manager
of Automotive, Jordan Greene has been named Automotive Inspiration of the
Year, Under 30 by Informa Tech Automotive. The award recognizes an
individual under the age of 30 who has made a significant contribution to
the automotive technology industry, has demonstrably pushed the boundaries
within automotive tech, and has contributed to positively driving change in
the industry. The award was presented at Automotive Tech Week, taking place
November 15-19 in Novi, Michigan.
Greene co-founded AEye in 2013, and has been a key contributor to the
company’s core IP and the design of five generations of LiDAR products and
perception software. Through his strategic leadership, AEye has created the
industry’s first adaptive, high performance LiDAR platform designed to
leverage deterministic artificial intelligence to increase probability of
detection, reduce false positive rates, and increase the speed and quality
of data acquisition and classification. On the business side, Greene has
pioneered a business model that leverages the automotive supply chain and
the global manufacturing capabilities of Tier 1 automotive suppliers like
Continental to reduce costs and drive innovation. Greene’s technical and
business acumen, as well as his leadership, have promoted technological
advancements that are serving to accelerate safe vehicle autonomy.
“I’m honored to be recognized as an automotive inspiration in an industry
that is aggressively innovating on the road to autonomy,” said Greene. “We
made a decision at AEye’s inception to take a software-first approach,
believing that an adaptive platform is the key to meeting OEMs’ dynamic
requirements, and that the best way to serve automakers is by leveraging the
existing Tier 2 and Tier 1 value chain. Our bet has paid off, as the
industry realizes the importance of intelligent data capture and the ability
to continuously push out features and improvements over time. AEye’s
software-first approach fits with OEMS’ evolving business model, and ensures
adaptive safety.”
Winners of the Informa Tech Automotive Awards were selected based on
rigorous criteria set forth by Informa’s judging panel, supported by the
WardsAuto and Wards Intelligence editorial and analyst teams.
