The technologies in automotive radar have undergone significant change in recent years, with low frequency short range radar system to high frequency long range radar system. The rising wave of new technologies, such as short range radar, medium range radar, and long range radar technologies are creating significant potential for automotive radar in various applications due to active safety systems, which assist drivers to virtually look through the vehicles and sense the static and dynamic objects on the road.
The growth of short range, medium range, and long range radar technologies are creating potential for automotive radar in different ADAS applications, such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, forward collision warning system, and intelligent parking assistance. Rising government regulations for vehicle safety, increasing adoption of ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) technology by OEMs, high demand for premium segment vehicles, and rise in number of radar sensors used per vehicle are creating new opportunities for various automotive radar technologies.
Some of the latest technological developments by various countries in the automotive radar market are as follows:
- Germany: Continental AG is developing a next-generation long-range radar with enhanced range and resolution specifically designed for autonomous vehicles. Additionally, Bosch has announced collaboration with a startup company to develop advanced short-range radar for parking applications, targeting market-leading performance.
- United States: Aptiv has received government funding to research and develop medium-range radar for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Their goal is to see this technology deployed in Level 3 ADAS systems by 2027.
- Japan: Denso Corporation is investing in research on 79 GHz millimeter-wave radar to improve performance in all-weather conditions. They aim to achieve mass production of this radar for passenger cars by 2026.
