Using Ansys simulation solutions, Oculii is developing artificial intelligence (AI) software and hardware for radar systems that will allow autonomous vehicles (AVs) to more accurately perceive their surroundings. The company relies on Ansys for its predictive accuracy, driving more refined design optimizations that shorten design cycles and support Oculii's mission of enabling high performance perception at lower cost. Key Highlights: Oculii leverages Ansys electromagnetic solutions to deliver vastly improved automotive radar systems; Ansys HFSS helps close design cycles more quickly, accelerating software development while reducing time to market; With 100 to 150 million radars sold in automotive alone, radars are the fastest growing active safety segment in the market; Ansys supports radar development. Commercial radar systems have long been hampered by a simple design tradeoff: improving resolution requires more antennas, which increases size, cost and power. This is a significant problem for AVs that need to perceive any environment with a high degree of accuracy to operate safely. AVs compensate for poor radar resolution by employing a suite of various sensors, which increases system complexity and cost. Oculii's technology unlocks the full potential of commercially available radar, using AI to learn and adapt to the environment, increasing resolution by up to 100X. Ansys HFSS helps Oculii evaluate and optimize key elements of radar transmission, including antenna and sensor placement and performance, with a predictive accuracy of 80 to 90 percent ? improving overall design speed. This enables compact radar technology that offers superior resolution through low-cost, mass-manufacturable hardware. Driven by consumer demand for active safety features and other self-driving technologies, the global automotive radar market is estimated to reach $12.5 billion by 2026 according to industry research. Radar is a key enabler for AVs and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Radar's advantages lie in its superior range, and the ability of its radio waves to pass through rain drops, snow and fog.
