Russian company claims to have created world’s first 4D radar for driverless tech

Moscow-based Cognitive Technologies said its new 4D radar for driverless cars surpasses humans in analyzing road conditions. The first prototype can determine the location, shape and speed of objects on the road in any weather conditions, the company announced.

“It’s like a ‘third eye’ for the driverless vehicle,” said Olga Uskova, president of Cognitive Technologies, the Russian startup behind the breakthrough. “Our radar works at any speed. It can detect objects with an accuracy of 97.7 percent, and in conjunction with a video camera, leads to better safety on the road.”

Uskova believes the invention is a revolution for the entire automotive industry.
