APAC Automotive Radar Market Challenge:

Inability to Distinguish Multiple Targets – Radar sensors are sensitive to obstacles; this is because of their mechanism, which works on the wave signals received after striking an obstacle. The sensors examine the frequency and wavelength of the received ray and, correspondingly, detect the speed and proximity of the object. However, when these sensors receive multiple rays altogether, they stall and provide inadequate outputs. Thus, in a crowded area, the radar fails to provide precise outputs, hence negatively affecting the accuracy of the radar system.

Moreover, the camera and radar have limited range; thus, beyond that or in the blind spots of the camera, it does not function, leading to an increase in the probability of the accident, hence decreasing their reliability. As a result, the drivers cannot fully rely on the radars in the automotive industry, which hampers the functionality of the system, hence hindering the market growth.

APAC Automotive Radar Market Trend:
