Abstract
An embodiment system may include a first millimeter-wave radar sensor coupled to a driver-side door of a vehicle, and a second millimeter-wave radar sensor coupled to a side-view mirror of the vehicle adjacent to the driver-side door. The first millimeter-wave radar sensor may be configured to produce a first set of radar data indicative of a presence of an object within a first field of view, and the second millimeter-wave radar sensor may be configured to produce a second set of radar data indicative of a presence of the object within a second field of view. The system may further include a processing circuit coupled to the first millimeter-wave radar sensor and the second millimeter-wave radar sensor, and a controller coupled to the processing circuit, the controller being configured to control an operation of the vehicle based on a control signal provided to the controller by the processing circuit.
