Sensing technology is essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems.
With the introduction of Autonomous Driving Level3 vehicles on the market, it has become a problem to ensure the proper operation of various sensors regardless of weather or driving conditions.
