Zendar is a technology company revolutionizing autonomous vehicle safety with next-generation radar solutions. Founded in 2017 by UC Berkeley PhDs, it develops software-defined radar systems that deliver high-resolution sensing and precise perception for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Their key products include Distributed Aperture Radar (DAR), which achieves 10x higher resolution and long-range performance with low power consumption, and Semantic Spectrum AI Radar perception software that uses AI to recognize and track objects in real time. Zendar's approach decouples radar performance from hardware constraints, enabling cost-effective, scalable, and continuously improving radar solutions for OEMs. The company operates globally with offices in the US, Germany, and France, targeting automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers to enhance vehicle safety and enable highway autonomy at Level 3 ADAS and beyond.
