INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
identify objects in real time and in any environmental condition
It can mean the difference between an autonomous vehicle that appropriately notices and ignores a plastic bag floating by and one that slams
on its brakes.Tel Aviv-based startup Arbe has developed a high-resolution radar chipset that it says is a game changer for the automotive
said Monday that it has raised $32 million in a Series B funding round from a number of new investors, including BAIC Capital, Catalyst CEL,
MissionBlue Capital and AI Alliance, a joint venture fund that includes Hyundai, SK Telecom and Hanwha Asset Management
Tech Ventures and OurCrowd also participated.Arbe will use the capital to hire more employees
to the market a real breakthrough in radar technology that empowers Tier 1 automakers and OEMs to finally replace their legacy chipsets with
hundreds of objects in high horizontal and vertical resolution to a long range in a wide field of view
Arbe says its radar chipset generates an image 100 times more detailed than any other solution on the market today
The system is then able to take those images and simultaneously localize and map the environment.The high-resolution radar chipset resolves
a number of issues found in legacy chipsets, Marenko said, including eliminating false alarms
A radar system that has high-resolution object separation in azimuth and elevation will theoretically lead to more accurate decision
making.Arbe is so confident in its radar chipset that Marenko says it will enable Level 3 automation in passenger vehicles without requiring
lidar, or light detection and ranging radar
Level 3 is a designation by SAE that means conditional automation in which a driver must still be prepared to intervene.
