Automotive Radar and ADAS Evolution for
2030 and Beyond
Juergen Dickmann, Global Head of Radar for Automated and Autonomous Driving
Mercedes Benz
When
June 11-13, 2024
Introduction
Driven to massive progress and innovation in SoC techniques and massive AI incorporation, a dramatic trend towards central processing is observed. For vision systems, this has been the trend and has led to intelligent central units and simple "stupid" camera heads. Can we expect the same path is automotive radar? A second potential innovative path is radar networks. Can we envision radar networks that provide the radar performance of real imaging radars (today 48x48 RxTx)?
Workshop Goals
- Examining state-of-the-art technology innovation
- Exploring centralized and distributed architecure innovation
- Identifying potential future development paths for SoC providers, Radar-Tier 2 and Radar-Tier 1
- Assessing optimum architectures for L1-5 vehicles and considering interconnection bus options

For ALL IWPC members:
All IWPC members are invited to submit materials to be included in the online workshop folder in the IWPC Research Library. This should NOT BE SALES MATERIALS. Rather, we suggest it contain technical information about your technology as it relates to the workshop topics.
For all companies who will be making a presentation at the Workshop:
You are invited to submit an advance copy of your presentation, complete with graphics and illustrations. Please use PowerPoint 16:9 format and embed .mp4 videos if have them. Please do not use .wmv, .avi or other video format, .mp4 only. No proprietary markings please. Do not include any pages or images that require going online or have security requirements. Everything needs to be embedded in the file and unprotected. The laptop that will display the presentations during the workshop is not connected to the internet so external links to YouTube or anywhere else will not work. All content must run locally in PowerPoint.
These materials will be included on the IWPC website Research Library for member access in PDF format.
