Trends in Automotive RADAR Focus on Safety
Object identification/distinction Rear-end Crash Avoidance CAR2X (Car 2 Car and Car 2 Infrastructure Communication) 360 degrees vehicle surveillance
Adoption of 77- 81GHz
More reliable and more accurate Greater capability to distinguish objects with high bandwidth Smaller footprint (multi mode, multi range)
