Automotive sensor company TriEye today announced a $17 million round that will be used to develop its sensors for low-visibility situations for connected and autonomous vehicles. Based in Tel Aviv, TriEye uses a technology known as short-wave-infrared (SWIR). The company’s HD SWIR camera allows vehicles using some version of automated or autonomous features to function under difficult conditions, such as bad weather, poor light, or fog. “Those are the times when most accidents happen,” said TriEye CEO and cofounder Avi Bakal.
