TI is in mass production of UWB mmWave sensors supporting frequencies from 76 to 81 GHz.

The radar sensors, which will first appear in vehicles on the road in late 2018, to enable ADAS applications, which include long-, short- and medium-range radar.

Outside of ADAS, engineers are using the automotive-qualified AWR1642 sensor to detect free space and obstacles near doors and trunks, occupancy detection inside the cabin, intruder alert and smarter automated parking.

TI also offers a common software development kit (SDK) and design resources to help speed development time.

For example, the Vehicle Occupant Detection Reference Design provides a system-level overview and software examples for using the AWR1642 sensor to detect people inside a vehicle.
