Lotus Deploys Ambarella's Oculii™ AI 4D Imaging Radar Technology in L2+ Semi-Autonomous Systems for Eletre SUV and Emeya Hyper-GT Electric Vehicles

Core Insights - Ambarella, Inc. announced the deployment of its Oculii™ AI 4D imaging radar technology in the 2023 and 2024 Lotus Eletre electric hyper-SUV and the 2024 Lotus Emeya fully electric hyper-GT, enhancing their L2+ semi-autonomous systems [1][2][4] Group 1: Technology and Performance - The Oculii radar technology provides ultra-fine angular resolution of one degree using only six transmit and eight receive antennas, which is more than double the resolution of competitors with the same antenna count [2][3] - This high resolution allows for better object detection in both urban and highway environments, ensuring timely and accurate avoidance and braking by the vehicles' L2+ systems [2][3] - Ambarella's technology reduces radar system power consumption and complexity, enabling the radar modules to be fitted into desired locations on the vehicles [3][4] Group 2: Future Developments - Lotus is evaluating Ambarella's centralized radar processing architecture to enhance ADAS and autonomous performance, which can detect objects over 500 meters away and achieve an angular resolution of 0.5 degrees [4] - The centralized processing architecture allows for real-time adaptation to driving conditions and maintains reduced data bandwidth and power consumption compared to competing solutions [4] Group 3: Upcoming Events - Test drives demonstrating Ambarella's centralized radar processing architecture will be available during AutoSens Europe, scheduled for October 8-10 in Barcelona [5]
