The radar signal hits the surface at an angle, so its reflection rebounds off like a cue ball hitting the wall of a pool table. The signal goes on to strike objects hidden around the corner. Some of the radar signal bounces back to detectors mounted on the car, allowing the system to see objects around the corner and tell whether they are moving or stationary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will enable cars to see occluded objects that today\u2019s lidar and camera sensors cannot record, for example, allowing a self-driving vehicle to see around a dangerous intersection\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.princeton.edu\/people\/profile\/fheide\">Felix Heide<\/a>, an assistant professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.princeton.edu\/\">computer science<\/a> at Princeton University and one of researchers. \u201cThe radar sensors are also relatively low-cost, especially compared to lidar sensors, and scale to mass production.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using radar commonly deployed to track speeders and fastballs, researchers have developed an automated system that will allow cars to peer around corners and spot oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
