LiDAR Sensor Company Quanergy Grabs $90M Investment
Sunnyvale, Calif.-headquartered Quanergy Systems Inc., a provider of solid-state LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, has raised $90 million in Series B funding at a valuation well over $1 billion.
Sensata Technologies, Delphi Automotive, Samsung Ventures, Motus Ventures and GP Capital participated in the round. According to Quanergy, its total funds raised have now reached approximately $150 million.
