Three Key Takeaways From IDTechEx's New Automotive Radar Market Report

The automotive industry has been using radar for two and a half decades. During that time, it has transformed from enabling luxury features on the most expensive cars, to being used ubiquitously for basic safety features in almost all new cars. This article goes through the three most important takeaways from the report. Starting with the huge growth that will be driven by side radars used in short-range applications.
