Ultrasonic systems in cars are a proven and reliable element of near-field detection for applications like Park Distance Control and Automatic Park Assist
After a long past as a simple parking aid in recent years the requirements of an integration into autonomous driving systems have led to amazing innovations of these low-cost sensor systems.
New Level L2, L2+ and L3 cars as well as Level 4 applications such as “Automated Valet Parking” and “Emergency Braking” require changes in signal generation, ASIL level and software development.
Take a look at the next generation Ultrasonic Sensor Semiconductor requirements and implementation in the Sensor Modules and Systems.
