https://www.baraja.com/en

Baraja is a deep technology company that has reinvented LiDAR for self-driving vehicles. Our Spectrum-ScanTM platform uses patented technology to set new benchmarks for precision, range and reliability.

The limitations of legacy LiDAR systems stem from a single design challenge: the ability to point a laser in a wide field-of-view. While traditional systems rely on fragile rotating lasers and oscillating mirrors, we simply refract light through a prism to scan the environment, with no-moving-parts in the fast axis. This unique method allows us to deliver unprecedented range, precision and reliability in even the most extreme environments - meaning pointcloud data you can trust.

With billions being spent to solve fully autonomous driving, we believe our technology is the most viable approach to producing the data needed to usher in the future of autonomous mobility.
