The five-dimensional perception system can see, track and interpret vehicular behaviour and identify roadway elements, enabling increased safety for drivers. Provizio also claims it beats the range of the incumbent radar systems by more than three times, without the requirement for additional hardware.
Provizio is now working with partners in the industry to bring the technology to mass production by 2025. It is demonstrating the system on a specially equipped Land Rover at CES, showcasing its capabilities. Separately, chipmaker Qualcomm has thrown itself into the world of satellite messaging with a new feature, Snapdragon Satellite, aimed at high-end Android smartphones.
Satellite communication is an area that Apple has put a spotlight on in recent months after it debuted a new SOS feature for its latest iPhone 14 handsets that allows people to communicate with emergency services when they are out of mobile network coverage. But Qualcomm’s technology is not reserved for emergency use, the company said, and could facilitate two-way messaging for recreational use, particularly in rural or offshore locations where mobile signal may be poor or nonexistent.
