AEye Joins NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab To Strengthen Safety-Certified Physical AI Solutions

AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIDR), a leader in advanced perception and intelligent sensing solutions, today announced it is joining the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab. NVIDIA is the first company in the world to establish an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB)-accredited AI Systems Inspection Lab, integrating functional safety, cybersecurity, AI, and regulations into a unified safety framework.Complementing existing industry-standard safety practices, NVIDIA Halos is a full-stack, comprehensive safety system designed to provide end-to-end safety guardrails throughout the AI development lifecycle — from design and validation to deployment — integrating hardware, software, AI models, and simulation tools to facilitate regulatory compliance and functional safety alignment.Joining the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab underscores AEye's commitment to delivering safety-certified, high-performance perception technology for automotive, transportation, and intelligent infrastructure applications. As a member of the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, AEye will collaborate within NVIDIA's safety ecosystem to validate interoperability, safety processes, and system-level integration with NVIDIA DRIVE platforms.AEye CEO Matt Fisch said, "Safety is foundational to scaling physical AI. Our participation in the NVIDIA Halos program reinforces our commitment to delivering perception solutions that meet the highest standards of functional safety, validation rigor, and ecosystem interoperability. By aligning with NVIDIA's full-stack safety architecture, we are helping our customers accelerate the deployment of advanced driver assistance and autonomous systems with confidence."We are also pleased to expand our presence in the NVIDIA ecosystem. With our Apollo™ 1-kilometer lidar validated as part of NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin™ and our recent announcement that we also successfully demonstrated Apollo™ running on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™, participating in the Halos program is the logical next step. In doing so, we are reinforcing our commitment to enabling safe, scalable physical AI deployments across global markets."The NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and assists ecosystem partners in demonstrating compliance with functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI system integrity standards.
