Continental’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) business unit in North America announced that it has now produced 30 million radar sensors.
The radar sensor production at Seguin, Texas, includes short-range radar (SRR) and the premium advanced radar sensor (ARS).
Short-range radar helps monitor the drivers surrounding environment and assists the driver in avoiding dangerous situations immediately around the vehicle. For example, it enables blind spot detection, adding a layer of safety for the driver to safely change lanes.
Advanced radar sensor is a premium long-range radar applied for forward looking applications like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and safety functions such as forward collision avoidance. Combined with other sensing technologies, ARS is the key enabler for automated driving.
Continental has also launched the #SafelyThere campaign to raise awareness about the life-saving potential of automotive safety technologies – like ADAS.
