Automated driving is considered one of the forms of mobility with the greatest potential for the future. HUBER+SUHNER will begin series production of radar antennas for Continental, one of the world's leading manufacturers of driver assistance systems. This step represents a major advance for the company in implementing its strategic growth objectives in the automotive sector, particularly in the use of 3D antenna technology and, consequently, in the field of automated driving.

Current in-vehicle radar applications provide only limited information, which no longer meets the future requirements of automated driving. Next-generation driver assistance systems must be capable of handling complex situations. This requires comprehensive information, such as an object's location, direction, height, and speed. HUBER+SUHNER's antenna technology plays a crucial role in providing a more accurate picture of the traffic situation at a distance of up to 300 meters, even in poor weather and visibility conditions.

The cooperation agreement with Continental's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems business unit spans eight years. Series production and antenna deliveries are scheduled to begin this year. Consequently, since development began in 2018, significant initial investments have been made to build development capabilities, and substantial investments in production equipment have been made in preparation for the start of series production.
