Driver assistance systems are making an increasingly important contribution to road safety. Nevertheless, 41000 people died on Europe's roads in 2005. Statistics for rear-end collisions show that some drivers am not even able to reach the brake before an impact. For this reason, there are currently attempts to replace this human reaction time with the significantly shorter response times of technical sensor systems. Manufacturers are currently concentrating on developing sensors for monitoring the vehicle's surroundings. Such systems detect hazardous situations at an early stage and support the driver in his evasive maneuvers. This also includes triggering full braking automatically in an emergency. The applications for laser-based sensors in cars are constantly increasing. The most important criteria for the laser are high optical power and - in many cases - short response times. There are also stringent requirements in terms of the reliability of the components. If the manufactures can succeed in making their system compact and cost effective, they will also be to open up numerous applications in the costumer sector.
