The RADAR sensors are today the most important complement to cameras for assisted and automated driving. Their active measurement principle allows direct 3D measurements with additional velocities. Combined with high robustness to weather influences makes them the key redundant modality each safety system is required to have. However classical RADAR sensors with their sparse point clouds are not as performant as LIDAR sensors.
Imagine a network of cognitive digital broadband RADARs with hundreds of channels with large apertures spanning around the entire vehicle, cooperatively combining all channels of spectrum data at a central brain with modern AI methods – such a RADAR system would outperform a LIDAR system. Despite such an ultimate RADAR setup will take its time to get into the vehicles in all parts, it is showing the different technology paths industry is heading to.
The talk will introduce the different technologies and show their benefits and the open challenges to be solved before realizing this ultimate RADAR vision.
