Project description
Radar sensors key to self-driving cars
Autonomous car driving systems are constantly rising, poised to reach a EUR 6 trillion market by 2050. However, self-driving systems need improved long-range depth sensing conventionalities. Existing advanced optical technologies have low performance, are vulnerable to weather conditions and are expensive. An alternative solution is the millimetre wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar based on antennas and digital receivers and is weather-resilient. To make the technology applicable is needed to face the high costs of the high number of receivers. The EU-funded DEEP-RADAR project will apply a recently developed innovative method based on medical imaging technology that reduces the number of receivers while maintains high-resolution images. The project envisages the commercialisation of automotive MIMO radars.
