Panasonic Develops Collision Preventing Radar
28 April 2012 Posted By anthonyp
Some weekend reading for you:
A press release from Panasonic over at engadget.com has announced that Panasonic has developed new millimeter-wave radar technology that could be quite useful in driverless cars. (HT: Gabriel)
Panasonic’s new automotive radar technology has overcome the difficulties with conventional millimeter-wave radar technologies; the advanced radar technology is capable of detecting humans and cars simultaneously in spite of the fact that human body reflects extremely weak radar signals compared with car body…..
….unlike optical and infrared cameras and laser sensors, whose detection performance can be significantly affected by visibility conditions, this new radar technology will not be subject to such conditions as nighttime, rain, snow or dense fog.”
No idea if or when this will come to market or how much it will cost but we will keep an eye on it.
