PIAGGIO FAST FORWARD DEVELOPS NEW SENSOR TECHNOLOGY FOR CONSUMER AND ENTERPRISE ROBOTS AND FOR MOTORCYCLE AND SCOOTER SAFETY (ARAS)
https://wide.piaggiogroup.com/en/articles/corporate/piaggio-fast-forward-develops-new-sensor-technology/index.html
Quote:
The PFF modules use Vayyar's mmWave 4D imaging Radar-on-Chip (RoC) sensor, enabling multiple ARAS functions such as Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with a single sensor supporting a range of over 100m, and an ultra-wide field-of-view. PFF robots incorporating the radar technology are expected to be released at the end of 2021, with Piaggio Group motorcycle models equipped with the PFF sensor module launching in 2022.

thoughts? doubting it'll be in a vespa soon ... maybe they'll wait until an electric gts?


PS before someone jumps in and makes comments about piaggio / italian electronics, Vayyar is Israeli

This sort of thing is becoming the norm in cars and trucks. Only a matter of time before it begins to show up in PTWs.
