According to foreign media reports, Echodyne, a high-performance radar platform company, released a groundbreaking automatic driving vehicle imaging radar EchoDrive. Based on mesa ® technology, echodrive provides new sensor functions and significantly improves machine perception.

The dynamic control API of the radar uses the resources in the autopilot stack, such as high-definition map, v2x and other sensor data, to optimize the measurement at any time through changing environment, conditions and scenes. For example, echodrive can smoothly switch from normal driving mode to busy area mode, and increase the frame rate to ensure unprotected left turn, or enlarge the picture when driving into the tunnel. This is a dynamic task operation of high-performance analog beam guided radar, which can improve the cognitive function of AI and machine learning in the autopilot stack, thus greatly improving the security. Echodyne CEO Eben Frankenberg said, "at present, the data flow of the automatic driving stack is one-way, sensors transmit information, and the autopilot system processes information and takes action. We lack dynamic and interactive data flow, which makes the cognitive function in the autopilot stack possible. Using EchoDrive, the automatic driving system can guide radar to scan specific objects and obtain accurate driving scene information, so as to make more correct driving decisions. We look forward to using echodrive to help businesses design, build and deliver safer vehicles. Echoyne has successfully built and delivered high-performance radars for defense, government, aviation and commercial applications. The company is expanding its radar platform technology to help automakers build and deliver safer self driving trucks, self driving buses and shared travel passenger vehicles. Echodrive has the following advanced autopilot imaging features: Tom Driscoll, chief technology officer of echoyne, said, "echodrive is a huge leap forward of autopilot imaging radar, which will bring sensing capabilities to the field of autopilot. Our adaptive radar sensor integrates Texas Instruments' millimeter wave sensor, our proprietary mesa technology, and a powerful software framework to improve the autopilot architecture in all aspects.
