  • High resolution 4D imaging radars key enabler to Level 2+ autonomous driving

VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Jan. 11, 2022 – Visteon Corporation (Nasdaq: VC), a global technology company serving the mobility industry, and Steradian Semiconductors Pvt. Ltd., an India-based high-tech imaging radar specialist, will collaborate on efforts that will produce enhanced Advance Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) for the global automotive market.

As part of a joint development agreement, Steradian will provide Visteon with access to its advanced 4D image radar sensor hardware and perception software technology. Imaging radars are integral to Level 2+ autonomous driving technology because they enable safety application development, AI-based perception algorithms, and sensor fusion.

Visteon’s DriveCore™ technology analyzes input from multiple sensors to understand the environment and determine appropriate action to steer, brake and accelerate the vehicle. It uses artificial intelligence for object detection and tracking, situational analysis and driver-behavior planning to enable ADAS-related features including driver monitoring, automatic lane keeping and parking assistance.
