[https://vayyar.com/auto?hsCtaTracking=84823f49-ba3d-401b-a219-82ff1a6a9eb6%7C43f3a23b-e9a2-450d-90e7-f2919cd3cef3], the global leader in 4D imaging radar

technology, is transforming automotive safety with its production-ready

Radar-on-Chip (RoC) platform, which enables OEMs to achieve leading-edge

vehicle safety while achieving unprecedented cost efficiencies.

Vayyar's automotive-grade, AEC-Q100 qualified RoC is a game-changing solution.

The chip features up to 48 transceivers, an internal digital signal processor

(DSP) and microcontroller unit (MCU) for real-time signal processing. Capable

of seeing through objects and able to operate effectively in all weather

conditions, Vayyar's single-chip solution can replace over a dozen other

sensors and negates the need for expensive LIDAR and cameras.

Within the cabin, one multifunctional Vayyar chip can support a multitude of

systems, including intruder alerts, Child Presence Detection, enhanced Seat

Belt Reminders and eCall to alert emergency services in the event of a crash.

It delivers a revolutionary level of safety, utterly unobtainable with

traditional single-function sensors.

This breakthrough solution fulfils the functions of multiple chips by sensing,

computing, processing, mapping and imaging targets with just a single

radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). The platform supports Vayyar's

mission to ensure that safety is available and affordable for all car

manufacturers and their key suppliers, at a time when modern cars are becoming

increasingly crowded with sensors.

Today, there are more than 100 sensors in a typical car, with analysts

predicting that this will double by 2030. However, Vayyar's new

production-ready RoC offers unprecedented potential and a unique opportunity to

cut cost and complexity while improving safety.

"By replacing multiple sensors with our multifunctional, scalable platform, the

possibilities for simplicity and savings are substantial. In addition,

regulations and standards are rising and to achieve 5-star ratings, automakers

are moving away from traditional solutions," explains Ian Podkamien, Head of

Automotive at Vayyar. "Our multi-award winning technology, recognised by

organisations such as CLEPA [https://blog.vayyar.com/vayyar-wins-clepa-safety-innovation-award],

equips vehicles with the instincts to save lives, providing uncompromising and

affordable safety. What's more, its price point is similar to a single-function

3x4 2D/3D radar solution, but with substantial added value."

The platform provides exceptionally high resolution and an extremely wide field

of view to deliver unsurpassed precision and detail. The robust sensor is also

engineered for scalability, seamlessly facilitating the deployment of emerging

features via over-the-air (OTA) software updates. This effectively

future-proofs vehicles as new safety requirements and standards emerge.

Central to the platform's potential is its ability to reduce complexity, in

order to cut direct and indirect costs. Vayyar has the in-house expertise to

deliver a full end-to-end solution, including hardware, software, development

and testing resources, streamlining the integration process for Tier 1

suppliers and OEMs to minimise effort, costs and risk.

By providing a high-performance, cost-effective and multifunctional sensor,

Vayyar's technology closes the gap between rising safety demands and feasible

tech adoption, ensuring that affordable, uncompromising safety is available to all.

About Vayyar Imaging (Automotive)

Vayyar's intelligent sensors create holistic safety opportunities for in-cabin

and ADAS, using automotive-grade 4D imaging radar technology. At the core of

these sensors is a high-performance Radar-on-Chip that supports up to 48

transceivers for exceptional resolution. With an ultra-wide field of view,

Vayyar's 60GHz and 79GHz single-chip radar modules cover large areas to reduce

the number of sensors in vehicles. They provide comprehensive detection in and

around the vehicle, while simultaneously tracking multiple targets and objects.

Vayyar technology is multi-functional, affordable and available for mass

production. The radar-based platform is robust in all road conditions, while

protecting user privacy. Vayyar plans to continue developing the next

generation of sensor technology that is miniature, affordable and versatile

enough to enable a safer world.

Editor's notes

Unlike traditional radar solutions that are based around 2 to 3 transmitting

antennas and 3 to 4 receiving antennas, 4D imaging radar leverages a Multiple

Input Multiple Output 48-antenna array for high-resolution mapping of its

surroundings. The rich point cloud data output combined with an ultra-wide

azimuth-elevation field of view, delivers detection and tracking with pinpoint

accuracy, making it the ultimate safety sensor for the road ahead.
