| National combined driving assistance standard turns 4D millimeter wave radar into a January 2027 compliance threshold China's national combined driving assistance standard takes effect January 2027 and effectively makes 4D millimeter wave radar a hard threshold for vehicle homologation, TMTPost reported. Named compliance scenarios include distant stationary obstacles, stalled vehicles in tunnels and children entering the roadway. The standard frames the requirement as a homologation gate rather than a recommendation. Automakers have not yet decided how to integrate 4D millimeter wave radar outputs into existing sensor fusion stacks. |
