The ADAS System Will Integrate Camera and Radar Fusion, Delivering the Same Level of Quality and Functionality as LiDAR-based Systems for the Chinese Automaker
TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ: ARBE) (TASE: ARBE), a global leader in Perception Radar Solutions, today announced that its Tier 1 HiRain Technologies, is accelerating the development of an ADAS system for a Chinese automobile manufacturer using the Arbe chipset. The ADAS system will include both camera and radar fusion, effectively removing LiDAR from the current system while maintaining the same level of quality and functionality. The ADAS system is anticipated to enter serial production by Q4 2025, pending final approval from the OEM.
In January, Arbe announced that HiRain Technologies was embarking on a rigorous data collection phase that planned to cover 1 million kilometers using a vehicle fleet equipped with LRR610 Imaging Radars, developed from the Arbe chipset. To achieve this initiative, HiRain Technologies' vehicle fleet is using massive amounts of collected data.
"Our LRR610 Imaging Radars, powered by the Arbe chipset, leverage the industry's leading ultra-high resolution capabilities, offering performance never before seen in radar technology," says Chengjian Fan, CTO of HiRain Technologies. "Our recent data collection initiative has shown the optimization of both sensor fusion and perception, further enhancing the capabilities of imaging radar and making advanced ADAS systems more affordable while providing true safety and advanced functionality."
Arbe's chipset includes an extensive channel array of 48 transmitting (Tx) and 48 receiving (Rx) channels, which powers HiRain's LRR610 with ultra-high resolution in both azimuth and elevation. The high channel array delivers a dense point cloud resulting in highly detailed imaging.
"HiRain Technologies and Arbe are working together to transform global automotive safety by infusing radar technology with capabilities that were once unique to other sensors," said Kobi Marenko, Chief Executive Officer of Arbe. "This groundbreaking initiative will demonstrate how imaging radar can provide an alternative to other sensors on the market, providing a solution that enhances safety at a consumer-friendly price point."
