Looking Down to Go Forward: Ground Penetrating Radar for Autonomous Vehicles

If you enjoy hearing passionate people talk about jobs they love and technology that fascinates them, you are in for a treat. Noah Gedrimas grew up with a love of vehicles—cars, tractors, construction equipment, and snowmobiles. In college, he built a one-fifth-scale car and then programmed it to self-park, which led him to a "newfound respect for mechatronics" and its ability to support really complex maneuvers. In this interview, Gedrimas reflects with enthusiasm on his time at Continental Automotive, working on everything from autonomous valet parking to electric shuttles and semi-trucks. Now, Gedrimas is applying that passion to ground-positioning radar technology at GPR. They are using ground-penetrating radar to capture unique, sub-surface data for positioning. Inclement weather compromised line of sight, roads with poor or no lane marking, weak GPS signals, and road terrain no longer affect the uptime and availability of autonomous navigation. You will want to join our host, Daniel Bogdanoff, as he chats with Gedrimas about: -Cadavers in cars. -The feature-rich information that lies below the ground. -The compute requirements when compared to cameras or lidar. -Early adopters of GPR technology. And much more that you will not want to miss.
