Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), employing available camera, lidar and radar technology, are in worldwide deployment these days.  Up to now more than 180 million radar units are worldwide circulating on our roads. Today ADAS are no longer comfort devices anymore, but they have become a safety feature for various AEB-Systems (Automatic Emergency Braking) in cars and trucks worldwide.
