The car of the future will feature a wide variety of sophisticated electronic sensors to aid the driver and improve vehicle safety. A major requirement is a hazard warning sensor to assist drivers in bad weather conditions. Two promising technical solutions which can be considered are RADAR and LIDAR. In bad weather conditions RADAR is likely to prove more reliable. While much work on relatively unsophisticated RADARs has been carried out in the past, primarily in the United States and Germany, no suitable hardware has emerged. This paper briefly reviews the operational requirements and the market considerations related to a vehicle radar. It then considers, in more detail, the technical parameters of such a RADAR, which should be capable of providing the driver with information on the route ahead when bad weather conditions limit visibility.
