Vayyar announced their newest technology designed to enhance automotive safety, the production-ready Radar-on-Chip (RoC) platform, enabling OEMs to achieve vehicle safety and cost efficiencies.
Vayyar’s automotive-grade, AEC-Q100 qualified RoC 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, according to the company, Vayyar’s single-chip solution can replace 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.
This solution fulfils the functions of multiple chips by sensing, computing, processing, mapping, and imaging targets with 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.
The platform provides high resolution and a wide field of view to deliver 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.
