LiDAR Performance. Camera Price.
Adverse weather contributes to 21% of all road crashes (FHWA). Current ADAS systems fail precisely when drivers need them most—in fog, rain, and glare. Trident Prime changes that. Using physics—not AI pattern-matching—we detect wet roads, see through fog, and classify hazards from a single $20 camera. No LiDAR. No training data. No black box.
Invisible Edge Detection
Standard cameras lose road edges in fog and low-light. Trident detects structural boundaries using spectral physics—finding edges that remain visible to optics even when they disappear from a normal image.
Instant Material ID
Is the road wet, icy, or dry? Trident answers this instantly using the physics of light reflection—distinguishing fog from a wet road surface with near-perfect accuracy in validated testing, without any training data.
All-Weather Stability
Rain, dust, snow—conditions that blind standard sensors. Trident locks onto the physical structure of the road and maintains navigational certainty regardless of environmental interference.
Boundary Detection in Action
This scan shows the exact moment Trident identifies a road boundary—even one that a standard camera cannot see. The system locks onto physical structure, not pixel patterns, so it works in any lighting condition.
False Positive Suppression
Gravel, road texture, and surface noise confuse standard cameras into false detections. Trident filters these out using optical physics, leaving only the true road geometry.
How We Compare
| What We Measure | Industry Standard | Trident Prime | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Detection | ~78% (AI pattern-matching) | Near-Perfect (Physics-verified) | Validated against a diverse test set in real-world adverse conditions. |
| Fog Penetration | Fails at 100m | 4x further | See 4x farther than competing systems. |
| Sensor Cost | $10,000+ (LiDAR) | $20 (Standard Camera) | 500x cost reduction. |
| Hazard Warning | 0.4 seconds | 2.0 seconds | 5x more reaction time for the driver. |
| Hydroplane Risk | Undetected | 4-Level Classification | From Dry → Damp → Wet → Flooded in real time. |
| Regulatory Risk | "Black Box" AI | Fully Explainable | Ready for EU AI Act compliance. |
Tested in Direct Sunlight
Sun glare blinds standard cameras and causes dangerous misclassifications. Trident maintains full accuracy even under direct solar exposure—and can apply a software-based polarizing filter to reduce glare without any physical hardware.
Built for Integration
Trident is designed to run natively on NVIDIA Drive, Qualcomm, and standard automotive platforms. The algorithms are mature and validated — we're seeking investment partners to bring this technology from prototype to production.
