An additional limitation of 3D ToF cameras is that, unlike in-cabin radar modules, they are unable to detect people or objects through obstacles.

Key Points: 
  • An additional limitation of 3D ToF cameras is that, unlike in-cabin radar modules, they are unable to detect people or objects through obstacles.
  • As of now, 3D ToF cameras are more well-adopted for OMS and have advanced features compared with radar modules.
  • However, by comparing the costs and functions of radar modules and 3D ToF cameras, IDTechEx believes there are potential opportunities for radar modules.
  • 3D ToF cameras are adopted in Li Auto L9, BMW iX, and the new ARCFOX αS series, whereas radar modules are expecting adoption in Tesla and Volvo.
