category

market profile

• text: Autonomy teams need robust perception across changing weather and lighting while keeping onboard compute economical.
• text: Imaging radar competes with other sensing technologies for automotive perception, with vendors including Arbe and Uhnder.

personas

• title: Head of perception, autonomous vehicle developer
  pains:

  • Detection and tracking must work through rain, darkness and occlusions
  • Sensor fusion and safety validation require extensive data and engineering time
• title: Robotics engineering lead
  pains:

  • Building and training perception models from scratch slows field trials
  • Deployment compute cost and power restrict scale
• title: Automotive systems integration leader
  pains:

  • Integrating multiple radar sensors adds system complexity
  • High-resolution sensing must fit production cost constraints
