Mobileye imaging radar chosen for automated driving

JERUSALEM - A major global automaker has selected Mobileye Imaging Radar™ for its advanced automated driving system, set to be implemented in personal vehicles starting in 2028. The technology is expected to enable SAE Level 3 automation, allowing for eyes-off, hands-off driving at highway speeds even in challenging conditions such as heavy rain or fog. This development comes as Mobileye continues to strengthen its position in the autonomous driving market since its separation from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), a prominent player in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry with a market capitalization of $89.64 billion.

Developed since 2018, Mobileye’s 4D imaging radar aims to provide sensor redundancy essential for safe autonomous driving. It is designed to deliver high precision in environmental perception by complementing camera-based systems and ensuring reliability in various lighting, environmental, and traffic conditions.

Mobileye President and CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua expressed confidence in the technology’s industry-leading standard, highlighting its potential to meet the safety and accuracy demands of self-driving systems. The company’s imaging radars add a height dimension to the traditional estimates of distance, direction, and velocity provided by existing automotive radars.

The next-generation radar features a digital end-to-end signal processing architecture powered by a Mobileye-designed radar processor. This approach is intended to achieve high levels of detail and accuracy in environmental perception. The radar’s core includes Mobileye-designed radar radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFIC), which support object detection with high confidence due to their signal transmission flexibility and low noise levels.

The proprietary processor embedded in the radar can handle over 1,500 virtual channels at 20 frames per second, with an antenna array that delivers exceptional angular resolution and dynamic range. These capabilities are designed to detect small, distant objects and identify potential hazards, crucial for high-speed autonomous highway driving.

The Mobileye Imaging Radar is reported to excel in scenarios where traditional radar systems struggle, such as tunnels and construction zones. It is capable of detecting road users up to 315 meters away and identifying hazards up to 230 meters distant.

Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY), known for its autonomous driving and driver-assistance technologies, continues to influence the ADAS and AV fields, with over 200 million vehicles worldwide equipped with its EyeQ technology. The company, founded in 1999 and listed independently from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) since 2022, remains at the forefront of the mobility revolution.
