Google launches Ripple, an open standard that could bring tiny radars to Ford cars and more

With the Pixel 4 and 2nd-gen Nest Hub, Soli finally launched after years of development. Google is now working with several partners on the Ripple open API standard to “accelerate the growth of applications for general-purpose consumer radar.”

Ripple allows for interoperable software libraries that can “work across various radar hardware implementations, ensuring reusability and easier firmware upgrades.”
