Arbe Combines Market-Leading Radar Solution with Powerful NVIDIA AI Computing, Creating Advanced Platform for AI-based Driving
Rhea-AI Summary
Arbe (NASDAQ: ARBE) announced at CES 2026 that it is combining its automotive-grade ultra-HD radar with NVIDIA accelerated computing to create an AI-based perception platform for hands-off and eyes-off driving.
The radar generates a raw point cloud of over 20,000 detections per frame from a 2,304-channel array and achieves 300+ meter point-cloud range detections, enabling long-range object separation at highway speeds (up to 130 km/h). Arbe says the system delivers consistent performance across adverse weather and low-visibility conditions and will be demonstrated integrated with NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, an AI-based occupancy grid with Perciv AI, and LiDAR-like performance use cases at Booth 4551, West Hall, LVCC.

ARBE’s modest gain of 1.69% came alongside mixed peers: AISP up 6.51%, BKKT up 7.66%, while HPAI and ZENA were down. Momentum scanner shows BKKT and ZENA among names moving up, suggesting broader AI/fintech interest but not a unified sector move.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 30 | Convertible financing | Negative | -1.8% | Completed $15.7M private placement follow-on of Series A convertible bonds. |
| Dec 29 | Commercial win | Positive | +9.7% | China state-owned automaker chose Hirain/Arbe Ultra HD radar for L4 program. |
| Dec 08 | Debt amendment | Negative | -7.9% | Proposed extension and rate cut on Series A bonds; delayed European OEM award. |
| Nov 18 | Conference participation | Neutral | -1.5% | Participation in 14th Annual ROTH Technology Conference with investor meetings. |
| Nov 17 | Earnings update | Negative | -10.3% | Q3 2025 results with low revenue, significant operating and net losses. |
Recent history shows price moves largely align with news tone: positive commercial/AI deals saw upside, while financings and weak financials drew selling pressure.
Over the last few months, Arbe balanced commercial wins with financing and execution updates. A China state-owned automaker selected its Ultra HD radar for a Level 4 program, driving a 9.71% gain on Dec 29, 2025. In contrast, Q3 2025 results showing $0.3M revenue and sizeable losses led to a -10.34% reaction. Convertible bond amendments and a follow-on private placement around Dec 8–30, 2025 also saw mildly negative moves. Today’s NVIDIA AI platform news builds on this narrative of strong tech positioning amid ongoing funding needs.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +8.3% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Arbe’s history of sizable moves on AI and NVIDIA-related announcements, such as the prior 52.09% jump on an earlier collaboration. However, the company’s recent pattern shows that financing activities and weak financial metrics have previously weighed on the stock. Investors watching a large upswing around this CES 2026 platform reveal may weigh longer-term sustainability against balance sheet needs and the stock’s position -76.42% below its 52-week high.

For the First Time at CES 2026, Arbe will Showcase its Automotive-grade Radar System, Ready for Integration with Complete Perception Stacks
The automotive-grade radar delivers unprecedented detection density, a raw point cloud of over 20,000 detections per frame, generated by a channel array of 2,304 channels, providing a rich foundation that enables systems to run advanced perception and AI algorithms. The combination of Arbe's affordable, high-performance radar solution and NVIDIA's powerful computing is democratizing autonomous technology, making advanced perception accessible, reliable and cost-effective.
"This initiative allows us to create a new benchmark for perception in all conditions. The collaboration accelerates the adoption of safer, more reliable, and more affordable autonomous driving solutions for automakers worldwide," says Kobi Marenko, co-founder and CEO of Arbe. "At CES, we are demonstrating our ultra-HD radar in action and how it navigates complicated highway scenarios at true highway speeds."
To enable eyes-off capabilities at highway speeds, accurate long-range detection and object separation are imperative. When a car travels at a speed of up to 130 km/h (approximately 80 mph), it needs to safely detect vehicles and obstacles at a 300 meter distance to give the system enough time to brake gradually, change lanes, or take other action without causing disruptions to surrounding traffic. Arbe's ultra-HD radar achieves over 300-meter point cloud range detections while delivering the resolution and dynamic range needed to interpret complex highway scenarios and introduce features for smooth, human-like driving.
The Arbe HD radar solution offers consistent, reliable performance across all environmental conditions, including snow, sleet, rain, fog, and low-visibility scenarios. By providing robust perception in situations where other sensor modalities may be challenged, Arbe's perception radar maintains dependable operation at all times. Arbe's perception radar, when combined with accelerated computing by NVIDIA, delivers consistent performance, enabling eyes-off driving at highway speeds with the human-like flow and predictability required for real safety and consumer trust.
Live Demonstrations at CES 2026, Booth 4551, West Hall, LVCC
Arbe will present live demonstrations of its automotive-grade radar technology, including:
- AI-based Occupancy Grid: In collaboration with Perciv AI, Arbe will showcase an AI-based Occupancy Grid that delivers a highly detailed map of the space surrounding the vehicle, illustrating occupied areas and relevant use cases for advanced perception.
- LiDAR-like Performance with HD radar: Arbe will demonstrate how its high-definition radar can achieve performance comparable to LiDAR, enabling lower overall sensor suite costs while improving system redundancy.
- Integration with NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin: Arbe's high-resolution radar data will be processed on the NVIDIA in-vehicle computing platform.
