NOVELIC, a subsidiary of Sona Comstar and a pioneering developer of mmWave radar and perception technologies for the automotive sector, has been awarded the esteemed “In-Cabin Innovation of the Year” at the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International Awards 2025, held in Stuttgart, Germany
At a essential point for the automotive industry,” ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International, which is well-known for its own industry publication, organizes the ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International awards (#AAVIs), which aim to “recognize groundbreaking achievements that are driving safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility solutions.” NOVELIC’s ACAM, AVS’s Scaner Human Factors, and SmartEye’s Sheila were the nominees for In-Cabin Innovation of the Year. The readers of the magazine and the judges from AAVI chose the winner. On behalf of the NOVELIC team, Dr. Raffaele Soloperto, Vice President of Automotive Radar at NOVELIC, accepted the award.
This is the result of years of research and development work in this area, and the award today is not for me but rather for all of my colleagues who have helped make this possible. We are totally committed to using short-range radar and radar as an in-cabin monitoring solution, which will ultimately save the lives of children. In his acceptance speech, Dr. Soloperto said praise to everyone who helped make this possible.
NOVELIC’s 60 GHz radar in-cabin monitoring module, ACAM, is a small, power-efficient device that offers industry-leading performance for EuroNCAP-compliant child presence detection. Accurate seat occupancy detection, cabin intrusion, and proximity alerts are made possible by a single module that covers the entire cabin of a five-seater car. In 2026, this solution is expected to go into mass production.
