PARAGON REFLEX

Sub-microsecond reflex intelligence for embodied AI.

Make the self-driving
dream possible.

Production AV stacks miss pedestrians at highway speed because their reflex loop runs in tens of milliseconds. Ours runs in 4.23 microseconds.

A deterministic reflex layer that sits beneath the perception stack — catches what the network misses, in time to brake.

Why this matters

The dream of self-driving
has a timing problem.

Modern AV perception is brilliant at understanding scenes, and slow at the moment when speed is the only thing that matters. A car at 25 m/s travels half a meter in 20 milliseconds. The pedestrian is already in the lane.

Today's reflex gap
  • Perception loop runs at frame rate
    Tens of milliseconds per inference. Fine for planning, slow for emergencies.
  • Edge cases miss silently
    Out-of-distribution events bypass the network's confidence layer entirely.
  • Cross-region performance drops
    A model trained in Boston degrades sharply when deployed in Singapore.
  • No deterministic safety floor
    ASIL-D certification of a learned-only stack is an open problem.
With a reflex layer
  • Sub-microsecond response
    4.23 µs p50 latency, four orders of magnitude faster than the perception loop.
  • Catches what the network misses
    A second, deterministic decision path for the patterns the network was never trained on.
  • Holds across regions
    Cross-geographic gap reduction validated across four nuScenes regions.
  • Auditable safety floor
    Deterministic by construction. Track to ASIL-D as a Type-2 SEooC.

What we’ve validated

Three results that move
the safety conversation.

Public benchmark, public dataset, public safety bar. These are the numbers we’re happy to defend in print — and the ones we walk Tier-1 partners through line by line.

01 — LATENCY

4.23 µs

p50 reflex latency

Median end-to-end response time on nuScenes-trainval streaming. Four orders of magnitude faster than a learned perception inference loop.

02 — SAFETY

Pass

Euro NCAP cruising

Reflex layer cleared the Euro NCAP cruising-speed detection bar against the public nuScenes evaluation set.

03 — GENERALIZATION

4 / 4

Regions held

Cross-geographic performance held across all four nuScenes regions without per-region retraining.

Per-region tables, dual-system stopping-distance numbers, and the full evaluation walk-through are part of our Tier-1 partner conversations.

Open roles

Help us put a reflex layer
under every embodied AI.

We’re hiring deliberately. Every seat below either ships the AV product or unlocks a Tier-1 conversation. If you’ve worked on production automotive safety, we want to hear from you.

Talk to us if you ship
autonomy at scale.

Tier-1 supplier, OEM, robotics platform, eVTOL program — if your roadmap depends on a sub-microsecond safety floor, we should be talking.
