Three international standards in the automotive radar field, which are led by China, have recently been approved for project initiation. It marks a significant breakthrough in the international standardization work of automotive radar in China.
Additionally, the automotive perception sensors working group was approved for establishment, with experts from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. (CATARC) elected as the conveners. CATARC will undertake the secretariat work of the working group.
The international standards for automotive radar not only fill the gap in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for automotive perception sensors, but also provide essential foundational support for the development of intelligent and connected vehicle technology. They significantly promote technological advancement in automotive perception sensors, especially radar systems, and play a crucial role in enhancing road traffic safety, driving assistance functions, and autonomous driving technology.
Automotive radar is a vital automotive perception sensor, mainly including LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and other forms. It can be used to monitor the vehicle's surroundings in real-time, providing information on traffic conditions, pedestrians, and other vehicles. This information allows drivers or autonomous driving systems to make correct driving decisions promptly, reducing the risk of traffic accidents.
In recent years, with the accelerated evolution of vehicle intelligence and connectivity, automotive perception sensors represented by LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar have played an increasingly important role. Their performance and standards are receiving growing attention from the market and the industry.
