Aeva Technologies raised $115 million to accelerate commercialization of its LiDAR sensors. Revenue in the first quarter rose 86% to $6.3 million, driven mainly by service revenues; product sales remain stagnant. The company delivered production-ready sensors to Daimler Truck and one of the ten largest European passenger car manufacturers, is working with Nvidia and Nikon, and is expanding into the defense and traffic markets. Despite progress, adjusted EBIT losses, negative operating cash flow and a thin net cash position remain key risks for further valuation. » More on finanzen.net
