Arbe Robotics Ltd., a global leader in Perception Radar solutions, announced that a China-based state-owned automaker has chosen Hirain Technologies and Arbe's Ultra HD Radar for its Level 4 autonomous (L4) vehicle program, with vehicle start of production (SOP) scheduled to begin in December 2026. The high-performance radar technology was chosen to deliver advanced safety and autonomy for urban and highway environments.
After several years of joint development, Hirain's LRR610 Radar, powered by Arbe's chipset, was selected for the automaker's L4 program, with thousands of vehicles expected to be released to the market during 2027. Arbe's proprietary chipset has the largest channel array count in the industry with 48 receiving and 48 transmitting RF channels, a dedicated processor chip that provides dense data enabling AI-based post-processing. The radar will be installed as the front-facing radar on each vehicle.
"Level 4 autonomous vehicles require the highest standards on radar resolution, accuracy, and reliability," said Chengjian Fan, CTO of Hirain Technologies. "By leveraging Arbe's high-resolution radar chipset, we are able to deliver the highly detailed and accurate sensing capabilities required for complex urban environments and the long-range detection in high resolution needed for driving at high speed on the highway. In these scenarios, where traffic density, vulnerable road users, and edge cases are most common, our top priorities are safety, unmatched perception, and smooth, predictable vehicle behavior."
"China is a highly strategic market, one that is advancing rapidly toward autonomous driving. We are pleased to see this momentum and meaningful progress in the region," said Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe. "Hirain is an exceptional partner, highly innovative and consistently quick to translate evolving market needs into advanced, customer-ready solutions."
