Extending Radar’s Value
FEATURES THAT MAXIMIZE SCALABILITY, ACCURACY AND UPGRADEABILITY
The best advanced safety platform starts with the quality of the data coming from the sensors. Aptiv’s Gen7 family of automotive radars employs sophisticated sensing technologies to help build a truly comprehensive and reliable environmental model – leading to better
ADAS decisions.
Introducing the Gen7 Family of Radars
SENSORS FOR EVERY NEED
The three members of the Gen7 Radar Family take advantage of the latest technologies to cover every angle:
- SRR7: This corner radar is compatible with streaming and zonal architectures and supports detection of close objects and vulnerable road users
- SRR7+: This premium version of the corner radar supports a dual-corner radar configuration for adaptive cruise control (ACC) and is characterized by high sensitivity, range and resolution
- FLR7: This forward-facing radar is the industry’s first base-level radar with 4D capability, a 300-meter detection range and excellent angular resolution
What Sets Aptiv’s Gen7 Radar Family Apart
OUR MOST ADVANCED SENSORS EVER
INNOVATIVE
Proprietary air-waveguide antennas improve integration, optimize overall system performance and reduce costs.
SCALABLE
The first streaming radar family supports various configurations, with an Ethernet data stream up to 1 Gbit/sec across standard interconnects — enabling a scalable platform approach from base to premium models.
FUTURE-PROOF
Thanks to new software components enabled by the Ethernet-ready radars, OEMs can improve vehicle-level performance over time and expand features — including the application of sensor fusion and AI and machine learning.
UPGRADEABILITY
The radars support new operational modes without needing hardware updates. The SRR7+ and FLR7 include an optional HD Perception Mode for parking and low-speed automation.
4D CAPABILITY
The industry-first base-level radar with 4D capabilities detects obstacles with greater accuracy, significantly improving the reliability of ADAS applications such as automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

Made for Reliability
Aptiv’s corner radars provide cost-effective and reliable sensing capabilities in a compact form
The mechanical assembly of our Gen7 Radar Family is designed for high volume and highly automated manufacturing, while our innovative 3D air-waveguide antenna offers superior system performance, even in limited packaging space.
Automotive Radar Technologies Sharpen Focus
Recent advances in vehicle radar technology are about to create a step change in capabilities that will provide the broadest possible operating performance for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Upgrades Over Time
ETHERNET-READY RADARS
Aptiv’s future-proof Gen7 Radar Family with advanced 3D air-waveguide antenna technology supports multimode operation, which means that its capabilities can evolve over time. Migrating to our next-generation machine learning-based perception technology easily unlocks a detailed occupancy grid of the vehicle’s surroundings. OEMs can evolve their vehicles with over-the-air updates indefinitely — unlocking complex parking or low-speed maneuvering applications with no hardware update needed. Aptiv’s switch-on HD-mode uses a high-speed Ethernet connection to transmit rich data from the sensors to the vehicle’s central compute unit, allowing OEMs to customize and scale their vehicles across platforms according to customer configurations.
