The role of radar for building situation awareness in (semi)autonomous vehicles is severely restricted by its low angular resolution. The physical size of the radar, which determines its antenna aperture size and thus the radar angular resolution, is often a subject of stringent limitations to physically fit the system in the vehicles. Multiple input multiple output systems are used to increase the achievable angular resolution, and these are often combined in the literature with algorithms inspired by synthetic aperture radar techniques that exploit the velocity of the vehicle itself for finer resolution. Some of the most common approaches are reviewed, in this context, with a specific focus on challenges for the implementation of data collected in real driving scenarios. Key experimental results using representative algorithms and driving data collected in the city of Delft, The Netherlands, are presented and discussed.
