PR88604
TEL AVIV, Israel, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
One multifunctional single-chip sensor scans the entire cabin, even in a large
SUV, providing unparalleled safety, reduced complexity and cost.
- Vayyar’s 4D Imaging Radar-on-Chip (RoC) technology is world first covering
all seats in three rows, footwells and trunk.
- Lifesaving single-sensor solution meets all Euro NCAP 2023 and 2025
requirements, providing up to 10 additional points and supporting future safety
applications at no extra cost.
- Vayyar’s unrivaled ultra-wide field of view accommodates all vehicles,
including sunroof-equipped eight-seaters, with uniform installation location.
- Flagship multifunctionality on a single-chip platform replaces up to seven
single-function sensors, supporting multiple applications simultaneously.
- Industry partners can leverage data-rich 4D Point Cloud Application
Programming Interface (API) for rapid independent development of numerous
additional features at no extra cost, on chip or by central processing.

Vayyar, the global leader in 4D imaging radar, has developed the world’s first
automotive sensor that covers the entire cabin of any passenger vehicle, with a
single Radar-on-Chip (RoC).
Given the 60% spike in global consumer demand for SUVs over the past five
years, Vayyar’s production-ready in-car sensor is designed to cover up to three
rows. It can also accommodate the rapidly growing number of cars with sunroofs,
thanks to uniform rear ceiling installation. Monitoring every seat and
footwell, plus the trunk area, the sensor represents a breakthrough safety
solution, protecting the most vulnerable vehicle occupants.
Up to 200 children die each year from heatstroke after being left unattended in
cars. These tragedies can occur in minutes, since on days as cool as 22°C, the
inside of a car, especially one equipped with a sunroof, can quickly reach
47°C.
“With SUVs making up over 40% of vehicle sales in many countries, complete
cabin coverage is crucial,” explains Ian Podkamien, VP and Head of Automotive
at Vayyar. “Three-row CPD solutions for all vehicles, including those with
sunroofs, will help prevent “hot car” incidents, while enhanced SBR will save
thousands more lives by ensuring that all passengers wear seat belts. And with
just one affordable sensor for both functions, high-end safety is now available
on all vehicles.”
Vayyar’s full-cabin sensor is fully operational in all lighting and weather
conditions and maintains privacy at all times, since no cameras are involved.
The ultra-wide field of view and high resolution provided by each sensor’s 48
transceivers are unmatched in the industry, enabling the platform to support
multiple advanced applications simultaneously, while replacing numerous
single-function sensors.
Given SUV cabin size and the fact that parents of young children comprise the
majority of SUV owners, three-row coverage is a critical aspect of in-car
sensing. Alternative solutions require two to three single-function sensors to
cover the entire SUV cabin, driving up the cost associated with providing
larger vehicle safety.
Until now, vehicles with sunroofs have also presented unique challenges in
terms of in-cabin sensor positioning, with no option to fit sensors in the
ceiling centre. Now OEMs can install just one Vayyar sensor in the rear ceiling
area, covering the entire interior.
Vayyar offers OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers a flagship Child Presence Detection
(CPD) and enhanced Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) combo, essential for meeting Euro
NCAP's more stringent 2023 and 2025 safety scoring protocols. The platform does
so by detecting occupants, classifying children and adults, and detecting
posture and position.
The robust, automotive-grade solution also addresses incoming Euro NCAP safety
requirements. Vayyar’s AEC-Q100 qualified and ASIL-B compliant platform
provides up to 10 in-cabin points for 2023 onwards.
Multifunctionality on a single-chip platform enables automakers to move past
the one sensor per function legacy industry approach. Uneconomical and
unsustainable, this has traditionally burdened vehicles with more wiring,
hardware, software and integration efforts. Instead, one sensor supports many
safety applications, significantly reducing complexity and costs.
A data-rich 4D Point Cloud Application Programming Interface (API) provided by
Vayyar’s platform enables customers to independently deploy numerous additional
safety features over its point cloud layer. These may include Occupant Status
(OS), optimised airbag deployment, seat belt pre-tensioning, eCall, gesture
recognition, out-of-position detection, intruder detection among others.
Over-the-air (OTA) software updates also allow automakers to add new features
long after a vehicle is built, providing added value by reducing development
risks and time to market.
“With a similar price point to an alternative radar sensor, or a standard ECU,
Vayyar’s affordable technology is driving a paradigm shift that’s enabling
economy vehicles to feature the exceptional safety offered by high-end models,”
reports Podkamien. “In SUVs, safety is particularly challenging because of the
larger cabin area complexity. Multifunctionality on a single-chip platform
provides enhanced safety without additional hardware, reducing complexity and
saving the cost of multiple sensors per seat.”
