How to shield self-driving cars from millimeter wave radar interference?

As smart vehicles proliferate, low-cost, high-performance millimeter wave radars are now mainstream perception sensors. However, the surge in radar-equipped vehicles has intensified on-road electromagnetic congestion, significantly increasing mutual interference risks that jeopardize autonomous decision-making reliability – a critical industry challenge. This presentation addresses millimter wave radar interference mechanisms, analyzing sources and patterns in typical scenarios: inter-vehicle interference during driving, overtaking and parking, along with complex clutter interference in tunnels and urban environments. It also introduces the newly developed anti-interference testing solution, which enables comprehensive simulation of multiradar collision scenarios and real-world electromagnetic disturbances to enhance sensor robustness for safe autonomous operations.
