Silicon Valley Missed This Israeli Breakthrough ft. Kobi Marenko of Arbe

What if the future of autonomous cars isn’t powered by cameras or LiDAR, but by radar?

In this episode, Kobi Marenko, CEO and Co-founder of Arbe, joins Yoel Israel to unpack how radar-on-chip technology could reshape the future of autonomous driving and why the giants of silicon may be standing in the way of true innovation.

We explore:

- How radar sees what cameras can’t, and why that matters for safety

- The challenges of building semiconductors in a world dominated by mega-corporations

- Kobi’s journey from TV reporter to deep-tech founder

- Why philosophy and yoga play a role in how he leads and invests

- Israel’s place in the global semiconductor race

It’s tech, science, and a little bit of soul - all from the front lines of Israel’s deep tech ecosystem.
