Radar Technology has registered on automakers' own radar for more than a decade, though the car manufacturers have proceeded with their typical caution in adopting what has been a costly technology with safety im
plications. But as silicon sensor costs come down and as the technology gains traction in luxury models, radar systems will begin to trickle down over the next few years to midpriced autos. Lower silicon and system prices will also encourage more governments to mandate automotive radar.
Going into 2011, automotive radar already offers collision avoidance and mitigation in the forward-facing direction, as well as blind-spot monitoring and parking support via rear-facing radar. Beyond 2011, the technology will eventually enable driverless freeway motoring, with smart algorithms using forward- and rear-facing radar, as well as lane detection systems, to control drive-by-wire steering, acceleration and braking systems.
