Reality AI’s Automotive SWS features Sound-based Detection


https://www.electronics-lab.com/reality-ai-automotive-sws-features-sound-based-detection/

Detection through cameras and lidar could be efficient but it has some drawbacks. As it requires visibility of the object within its range, thus detection is difficult for invisible and hidden objects. Radar could be an ideal choice for overcoming these drawbacks but it struggles with distant objects as it is incapable of the corners […]
