BEIJING – March 26, 2019 – At this year’s International Wireless Industry Consortium (IWPC) seminar, MediaTek announced its new automotive chip, the Autus R10 ultra-short range millimeter wave radar platform. With significantly higher performance than ultrasonic sensors on the market, the Autus R10 chip integrates an antenna to support radar systems deployed by automobile manufacturers to accurately detect obstacles or vehicles with a 360 degree view around a car. The Autus R10 chip can be used for multiple applications including blind spot detection (BSD), parking assist system (PAS) and automatic parking assistance (APA) to improve driving safety.
The IWPC community facilitates technical discussions for industry participants to share key insights about the wireless industry and wireless technology. Over the past 20 years, IWPC has grown to more than 160 member companies worldwide, including many leading companies in the wireless industry. This year’s IWPC seminar gathered the top wireless experts from around the globe, along with leading automobile manufacturers, to discuss radar technology. As a leader in highly integrated millimeter wave radar solutions, MediaTek was invited to participate in the conference and speak at the event to discuss technical insights and solutions.
