Host:

Sally Seidel

Presenter:

Dr. Manju V. Hegde (CEO of Uhnder, Inc.)

The talk will start with the rationale for automating driving of cars and the functions which are required to automate this.

Then we describe main types of sensing  for automating the driving function in cars based on different physics phenomena along with their advantages and disadvantages. In particular, we will motivate the need for digital imaging radar and the describe the describe the emergence of technologies that have made this possible.

We will then go into some depth on automotive radar and the engineering functions needed to get to required levels of performance.

We end with scenarios that are required to ensure safe, automated driving and show some demos of a digital imaging radar in these cases.
