Introduction

Today’s vehicles are being equipped with a host of technologies to enhance driver comfort and safety. As vehicle manufacturers continue their journey towards highly automated driving and autonomous vehicles, the industry looks to the fusion of data from radar, vision and lidar systems to provide an optimal 360 degree perspective. Radar is considered to be an indispensable building block within active safety systems and autonomous driving vehicles.

Workshop Goals

  • Assess the present state and future trends in active safety and highly automated driving technology
  • Create an open forum for the global automotive radar community to discuss and debate advanced safety requirements, sensor technology opportunities, challenges, limitations and trade-offs
  • Develop mutual understanding and build community awareness across active safety eco-system
  • Review state-of-the-art semiconductor, signal processing and sensor technology development
