Conclusion
Automotive driving turning to be reality and requires
higher performance sensors
Sensor fusion can nor resolve all problems and better
sensors are required
There is a clear requirement to adopt more advanced
radar approaches into automotive applications
Novel signal processing algorithms are required to exploit
all possible information from the radar measurements
Automotive environment poses novel challenges that
require new algorithms and radar approaches
