In the last 10 years, autonomous vehicle companies have been using laser spinning systems called LiDARs for navigation. Although LiDARs have improved in resolution, they can’t penetrate rain, dust, or fog due to physical limitations of lasers.
Hertzwell is developing high resolution 3D imaging radars to help driverless vehicles navigate in all weather conditions. This approach uses all weather radar technology from the aerospace industry and miniaturises it for autonomous vehicles.
