Example embodiments relate to foveated imagers for automotive applications. An example embodiment includes a device. The device includes a rotationally symmetric foveated lens. The rotationally symmetric foveated lens is configured to receive light from an environment. The rotationally symmetric foveated lens is also configured to produce an image at an image plane based on the received light. The device also includes an image sensor having an associated image sensor resolution. The image sensor is positioned at the image plane and configured to capture an image having an associated field of view of the environment. Based on a distortion profile of the rotationally symmetric foveated lens and the image sensor resolution, the captured image exhibits a first angular optical resolution in a central region of the field of view and a second angular optical resolution in a peripheral region of the field of view.
