Meet smartmicro's extra-long-range automotive radar. DRVEGRD 171, introduced with three different waveform modes, has a range of 0.2m to a maximum of 240m. Its wide beam provides a 100° field of view, and excellent angular separation of 2° in all available modes. The radar assures an outstanding detection for front applications on autonomous shuttles and taxis or industrial vehicles.
Designed for ASIL-B compliance, the sensor enables the integration into safety systems and meets the challenges of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and the L2+ autonomous vehicles market. It fills the gap between state-of-the-art ADAS radars and 4D imaging radar sensors, at an attractive cost.

Designed for autonomous driving applications:
Industrial Vehicles
DRVEGRD 171, allows for improving the safety of operating in and around heavy machinery. Vehicles such as trucks, excavators, bulldozers, or similar require a longer time to come to a stop. An obstacle needs to be detected from a far distance to avoid a potential collision.
The extra-long range of DRVEGRD 171 allows the vehicle to detect obstacles from as far as 240m, enabling an appropriate reaction in time.
Autonomous Shuttles & Taxis
Automotive radars enable a high level of autonomy for such vehicles. DRVEGRD 171 uses the latest Pixel-High Definition (PxHD) technology. It provides 4D Object Tracking with near-imaging radar resolution, aiming to increase the safety of vulnerable road users in the city environment. With its high precision in detecting obstacles - both static and moving - the sensor fulfills the most demanding applications.
