In a May 28, 2026 interview with TV10 Israel, Innoviz CEO and co-founder Omer Keilaf discussed the company’s ongoing collaboration with Volkswagen and its expansion into defense and drone detection markets. Keilaf described Innoviz’s LiDAR technology as a laser-based system that generates a three-dimensional video feed, enabling vehicles to accurately understand their surroundings. He stated that the technology is now being applied to detect small objects such as drones, and that the company is exploring uses in border protection and logistics. When asked whether Innoviz should have focused on defense applications earlier rather than automotive, Keilaf said that a startup must address current market demand, and that the automotive industry’s disruption created the momentum and investment opportunities that allowed the company to build its technology. He added that while defense tech is now highly relevant, it likely would not have generated the same momentum a decade ago. Keilaf framed autonomous driving as the first application of “Physics AI,” and said Innoviz’s core capability—digitizing the physical world in real-time 3D—enables AI-driven decision-making across logistics, defense, and port operations.
