Rice University researchers have developed EyeDAR, a low-cost radar sensor designed to assist autonomous vehicles. The device replaces complex calculations with analog circuitry and communicates with cars using radar waves. EyeDAR offers a potential solution to a significant challenge for self-driving cars: reduced visibility due to fog or heavy rain. The sensor provides a clear and accurate image even in conditions where visibility is severely limited. Cities could potentially deploy EyeDAR on street signs, traffic signals, and intersections, creating an additional layer of safety for autonomous vehicles. The cost of the device is low enough that widespread implementation by municipalities is a possibility.
