The parking assistance systems segment will grow at a CAGR of above 15% from 2016 to 2024 due to the growing automotive applications of radar technology including parking assistance, guidance, and reverse warnings. The parking sensors provide real-time alerts to drivers for obstacles, while parking. As soon as the driver activates radar park assistant, proximity sensors calculate the parking maneuver. By following instructions given by the parking assistant, the driver can park his vehicle in the free/allotted parking bay. Huge investments for the development of smart transportation systems will increase the demand for automotive radars to make automated parking possible and assist drivers in parking their vehicles.
