Move over LiDAR, mmWave radar is here
Multiple industries are increasingly frustrated by the prohibitive cost and excessive timeframes of obtaining real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Using simulated environments - specifically mmWave radar simulation - to train machine learning models slashes the need for real-world data collection and provides a platform for rare use cases. This innovation briefing further explores the potential of mmWave radar simulation to reduce autonomous machine costs and enable greater levels of autonomy.
