Connect with visionary leaders who are driving new sensing technologies and applications in automotive at the 10th Automotive Sensors & Electronics Summit (February 19-20, Munich, Germany). Omnitron Sensors CEO & Co-founder Eric Aguilar will join the top technologists presenting innovationsthat are enhancing the success and performance of driver-assist systems and ensuring safer navigation for autonomous and self-driving cars.
Tech Briefs Author Woodrow Bellamy interviewed Omnitron Sensors Co-founder & CEO Eric Aguilar about the evolution of LiDAR sensors in autonomous navigation systems. Eric reveals how long-standing inadequacies in LiDAR sensors–from fragility and performance issues to high cost–have prevented LiDAR sensors from meeting the rigorous demands of the automotive industry. Until now. Omnitron’s new LiDAR sensor solves the problems that have limited LiDAR. Read the article.
Eric Aguilar experiences LiDAR in a VR environment
The vibe at L’ATTITUDE 2023—the largest business event in the country exploring the ways in which the U.S. Latinx cohort is driving the growth of The New Mainstream Economy—was nothing short of electric. More than 8,000 executives, business leaders and entrepreneurs gathered in Miami to interact with the four L’ATTITUDE partners, Sol Trujillo, Gary Acosta, Emilio Estefan, and Oscar Munoz, each of whom has blazed a path in his chosen profession. Attendees also tuned into a world-class line-up of C-suite speakers from firms such as Accenture, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, NBCUniversal News Group, JP Morgan Chase, United Airlines, and too many others to list here.
L’ATTITUDE 2023 was especially memorable for Omnitron Sensors, which was one of two L’ATTITUDE Ventures’ portfolio companies selected for a booth activation during the event. Omnitron Sensors CEO Eric Aguilar and the Omnitron team showcased the company’s LiDAR sensor technology through a VR demo designed to show event attendees how LiDAR augments environments to enhance the accuracy and safety of autonomous robotic systems.
Eric’s story as a Latino entrepreneur who co-founded a chip company also caught the attention of CNBC’s Squawk Box. Catch his interview here.
One day in the not-too-distant future, Omnitron’s LiDAR sensors will present a 3D environment that’s safer and more affordable for autonomous navigation/operation in cars and delivery drones, in VR gear, in industrial robots, and in other complex electronic devices that need superior machine vision.

Electronics360 Editor Peter Brown writes about Omnitron Sensors’ manufacturing collaboration with Silex Microsystems, the world’s leading pure-play MEMS foundry. Omnitron Co-founder & CEO Eric Aguilar positions the two companies’ relationship as “a major step forward for the microelectronics industry,” which “mitigates the manufacturing complexity that has limited the growth of MEMS to date.”
