Radar Sensor
A sensor that measures distance and speed using radio waves.
Radar sensors emit radio signals that bounce off nearby objects, allowing systems to calculate distance and relative velocity. They are key for adaptive cruise control and collision warning. Misalignment or dirt can cause false readings. Radar calibration requires flat surfaces and reflective targets. Their robustness makes them reliable under poor weather conditions.
