Uhnder will change the path and enable the next generation of ADAS, AV and automated mobile applications. It will mass-produce 4D digital imaging radar chips that fully comply with automotive standards.
Douglas Campbell, president of the Automotive Safety Council said："Uhnder's 4D digital imaging radar chip is the next generation product that demonstrates a new way to improve vehicle safety and save lives," "Deaths of vulnerable road users now account for 20 percent of all road deaths in the United States and even more in developing countries. ADAS technologies, such as automatic Emergency Braking for Pedestrians (P-AEB) that can operate reliably at night, have helped reduce the number of pedestrian deaths, according to a new report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Improved high-resolution sensing sensors, such as Uhnder's on-chip radar, could help reduce this rising category of deaths.
The company's digital radar can clearly identify a pedestrian crossing the street, a child entering the street from a parked car or a cyclist next to a guardrail with an accuracy that traditional analog radar systems cannot achieve. The technology provides the industry's first digital radar solution with increased accuracy and capability to sense short and long distance moving or standing objects, large and small, in all weather and lighting conditions, while reducing mutual interference between other radars.
Manju Hegde, CEO and co-founder of Uhnder said："Compared to current analog radars, digital radars offer 16 times more resolution, 24 times more target power and 30 times more contrast, improving detection capabilities and providing better road safety for all users -- drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians." "As more and more radars are installed in vehicles and other mobility solutions, interference between adjacent radars becomes a problem," Our radar, based on digitally coded modulation, mitigated this problem."
Samsung Electronics will start mass production of the S80 chip radar in April 2022. The device will be the first 4D digital imaging radar solution and will meet stringent automotive requirements, including Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q104 certification; ISO 26262 Automotive safety integrity Class (ASIL-B); And the production Parts Approval Process (PPAP) of magna, the first Tier 1 automotive customer.
Swamy Kotagiri, CEO of Magna International, said: "Uhnder is a leader in digital imaging radar and a trusted partner in driving the best innovations. "I'm excited about the progress that has been made over the years and ready for the entire ecosystem to experience what we already know -- digital radar is the foundation for the next generation of ADAS."
