Perception Sensor Capability & Environmental Reference Matrix
Select any sensor card or toggle environmental scenarios to compare real-world performance bars, detection range, and Indian edge-case behavior.
77GHz Long Range Radar
Primary Modality: Millimeter Wave RFPerformance when heavy tropical rains obstruct visual transparency.
Penetration capabilities through dust storms and severe smog (AQI 400+).
Operation on unlit rural highways with high-beam glare from oncoming traffic.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
Radar can maintain useful target detection and tracking when rain, dust or fog degrade optical visibility. Crucial for sensor fusion under extreme Indian weather.
