For Self-Driving Cars, the Hot New Technology Is… Radar Companies are improving and adapting the century-old technology to help vehicles operate more safely with less human involvement.

Technology pioneered by MIT and adopted by the military can keep self-driving cars on the road in all kinds of weather.

Since humans only use their eyes to navigate, Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanded his company's self-driving cars use only cameras, The New York Times reported.

Tesla told the FCC that it plans to market a new radar starting next month. The move raises even more concerns about self-driving capabilities.

The MadRadar hack bypasses the anti-spoofing protections in the radars of self-driving cars and can trick targets into imagining vehicles that aren't there — or hiding other ones that are.

Current chairman Xu Zhijun said Huawei is working on millimeter-wave radar and laser radar for use in autonomous vehicles as part of an “ecosystem” of car-equipped sensors.

Radar has been a staple of driver-assist systems for obstacle detection, and until now, not viewed as a tool for localization. That's changing.

Advances in radar could make it easier to develop and deploy automated-driving technology. A number of companies are working on products they think might soon supplant lidar.

A new report, as shared by Electrek, said Tesla engineers attempted to persuade Musk not to abandon radar technology for the company's Autopilot and self-driving systems.

A Boston-based startup wants to equip AVs with ground penetrating radar, which they can use to identify exactly where they are.

Most autonomous cars use lidar and other light-based sensors to see the world around them. But what if they could use radar, too?

We contacted Tesla about the new diagram for Model 3 to ask if it means that the Autopilot 3.0 computer is now being installed in new Model 3 vehicles.
