MIT researchers have now developed a sub-terahertz-radiation receiving system that could help steer driverless cars when traditional methods fail. Our low-cost, on-chip sub-terahertz sensors will play a complementary role to LiDAR for when the environment is rough. With our design, there’s essentially no boundary for scalability.
