This is an advertisement piece written by a NODAR advisor about how cool their "Hammerhead" system is. TLDR: It's stereo cameras with wide baseline and software compensation for vibrations/camera shake. That said, I am pretty disappointed that there's no mention of the actual problems that people working with stereo cameras in cars have, which is that optical matching usually doesn't have a unique solution and that reflections ruin everything. The latter especially gets worse the wider you make the stereo baseline, so I'd bet you that NODAR will fail badly when there's ice on the road. That combination of false correspondences due to reflections and AI in-painting to produce the illusion of a complete dataset when it is impossible to see depth everywhere, might be quite dangerous. We laugh at Skydio drones for crashing into windows, puddles, and lakes because their AI (with 6 cameras) gets confused by reflecting things. I'd find it a lot less funny if that was my car crashing.
