Modern vehicles increasingly rely on radar sensors hidden behind painted bumpers and trim parts to enable critical ADAS functions such as emergency braking, cross traffic alert, and lane change assistance. As these systems become mandatory and more sophisticated, ensuring radar performance after repair is becoming a major challenge.
Our latest article, published together with Thomas Behl from AZT (Allianz Zentrum für Technik), explores how painted plastic parts influence radar signals and why traditional paint thickness measurements alone are often insufficient to judge radar compatibility.
