Bravo
If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Here's a snippet (translated by Dr Google) from a recent interview with Clement Novel (Lidar Technical Product Line Director) from Valeo on 22 August 2022.
4D imaging radar could be an equally robust but inexpensive alternative. Will lidar only be installed for redundancy in the future?
We are also developing these 4D radars, but we don't believe in an either/or. The most obvious advantage is actually the price. 4D radar will be very competitive with lidar. That's as good as certain. Signal processing is still very expensive at the moment, but the costs are steadily falling. In terms of performance - especially resolution - the current state of lidar is aimed for, but in my opinion this catch-up race is not possible.
In addition, we and almost the entire automotive industry are convinced that safe autonomous vehicles require the triad of cameras, radar and lidar. Lidar is the key sensor because it performs better than the others.

Valeo-Experte: „Wir waren bei Lidar schlichtweg die Ersten“
Weltweit werden Automotive-Lidar bislang nur bei Valeo in Serie produziert. Woher dieser Vorsprung kommt, erklärt Clément Nouvel im Interview.
