Hertzwell is a radar software company that transforms low-resolution data to enable safety and advanced autonomous system applications.

In the last 10 years, autonomous vehicle companies have been using laser spinning systems called LiDARs for navigation. Although LiDARs have improved in resolution over the years, they cannot penetrate rain, dust, or fog due to specific physical limitations of lasers.

Hertzwell is developing high resolution 3D imaging radars to help driverless vehicles navigate in all weather conditions. This approach uses weather radar technology from the aerospace industry and miniaturizes it for autonomous vehicles.
