## Founding and founders
The company was founded at the end of October 2018 as a high-tech enterprise combining research, manufacturing, sales, and service of autonomous-driving and intelligent-connected hardware and software. The registry records incorporation on 26 October 2018 with registered capital of RMB 14,449,676 and an operating term to 2048.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) • [4](https://qiye.qizhidao.com/company/c6c272c89e3ca8d5dc92145f5acd7c49.html)
Founder and CEO Xue Dan is a member of national and Shanghai artificial-intelligence expert committees and previously served as chief engineer of an aerospace research institute; registry data lists him as actual controller and beneficial owner with 27.6823%. The core team draws members from aerospace, Huawei, SAIC, DJI, Denso, and Continental, covering driving systems, algorithms, automotive sensors, and domain controllers.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) • [5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html) • [4](https://qiye.qizhidao.com/company/c6c272c89e3ca8d5dc92145f5acd7c49.html)
## Technology: 4D imaging radar and the fusion stack
Conventional automotive radar reports distance, azimuth, and speed. 4D imaging radar adds resolution of target height, giving four-dimensional information, and the added angular resolution lets the sensor recognize target contour, category, and behavior rather than only detect motion.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) The company's stated rationale is that its self-developed 4D radar replaces conventional millimeter-wave radar while approaching lidar-like spatial perception of static and dynamic targets, at radar cost, fused with visible-light and infrared imaging for all-weather operation.[5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html)
Its Ares-series 4D imaging radar has gone through four product generations and outputs more than 5,000 effective point-cloud points per frame.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) According to the company, the vehicle-grade radar retains all-weather detection, can detect stationary objects, and outputs high-density point clouds suited to L3/L4 multi-sensor fusion and safety redundancy; these are company claims rather than independently verified test results.[2](https://geometricalpal.com/news_detail/68)
The delivery strategy is a menu-style integrated package: 4D imaging radar plus vision camera plus infrared imaging plus an autonomous-driving domain controller plus L2–L4 scenario algorithms, built on machine perception and deep learning along a route the company describes as "low-cost, vehicle-grade, high-reliability, easy to mass-produce".[3](https://www.chinaventure.com.cn/news/108-20220926-371319.html) • [6](https://cn.technode.com/post/2022-02-18/geometricalpal-new/)
## Funding and investors
Funding progressed in four reported steps:
- **Angel round, January 2019:** RMB 60 million, led by the ARM China ecosystem industry fund, with Silergy (芯岚微), Glory Ventures (耀途资本), and Xinyu Yihe participating.[5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html)
- **Pre-A series, reported August 2021:** a total of nearly RMB 400 million in three tranches. Pre-A1 was invested solely by Matrix Partners China (经纬中国); Pre-A2 was led by the Xiaomi Yangtze River Industrial Fund with Baidu Ventures and Matrix participating; Pre-A3 saw angel-round shareholders Silergy, Glory Ventures, and Xinyu Yihe add investment, Matrix continue, and new investor Puhua Capital join. Proceeds were earmarked to accelerate mass production of a new-generation-architecture integrated system.[5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html)
- **Earlier framing, and series size:** LeiFeng's first report described a "nine-figure RMB" Pre-A round invested solely by Matrix Partners China, corresponding to the Pre-A1 tranche; the later, fuller 36Kr account and ChinaVenture describe the series, with ChinaVenture putting it above RMB 500 million within three years of founding and calling the company a quasi-unicorn.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) • [5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html) • [3](https://www.chinaventure.com.cn/news/108-20220926-371319.html)
- **Strategic round, 18 February 2022:** the company announced a new strategic round invested solely by [Boyuan Capital](https://www.edgepedia.org/boyuan-capital) (博原资本), Bosch's market-based investment platform, with cooperation at both capital and business levels; the amount was not disclosed. TechNode independently reported the round the same day. ChinaVenture also notes 2022 support from SAE International alongside Bosch.[3](https://www.chinaventure.com.cn/news/108-20220926-371319.html) • [2](https://geometricalpal.com/news_detail/68) • [6](https://cn.technode.com/post/2022-02-18/geometricalpal-new/)
The February 2022 round is the last dated financing on the record; no later funding was found in any retrieved source.
## Business, customers and traction
SAIC Group is the anchor relationship. The company obtained SAIC's NRE in July 2019, and within two years became one of SAIC's autonomous-driving strategic partners, winning designations for its 4D radar and software.[3](https://www.chinaventure.com.cn/news/108-20220926-371319.html) From 2019 its integrated systems completed several hundred thousand kilometers of testing on SAIC vehicle models across nearly 1,000 scenarios, with results entering SAIC's mass-production platform by 2020.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html)
In commercial vehicles, the company won designated-production orders and reported small-batch delivery in the Yangshan Port autonomous container-truck and heavy flatbed transporter projects in Shanghai.[1](https://www.leiphone.com/category/transportation/Lb4GroCPdBlb3xGr.html) • [5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html) • [7](https://www.12365auto.com/news/20210803/459421.shtml) In passenger cars it was in front-fitting tests with an OEM for models pre-selling in 2023.[5](http://www.xishuta.cn/newsview47934.html) Beyond the vehicle side, in 2021 its radar entered roadside use as a holographic-perception sensor in "intelligent + connected" road applications through partnerships with Dianke Intelligent (电科智能) and the Shanghai Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technology Center.[3](https://www.chinaventure.com.cn/news/108-20220926-371319.html)
