Car accidents don’t need to be high-speed to be deadly. In recent years, more and more pedestrians have been injured or killed by cars that were standing still just a second earlier – launched forward by a driver’s moment of confusion. In recent years, the UN ECE workgroups for vehicle safety have been working towards standardizing Acceleration Control for Pedal Error – a safety feature that would stop the sudden acceleration of cars caused by drivers engaging the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. This article goes into the history of ACPE, the limitations of current solutions, and how mmWave radars have potential to provide an attractive solution to this problem. Read more
The host of Autonocast, co-founder and GP at NIVC, and Cannonball Run record holder Alex Roy joins NOVELIC’s Miquel Testar to discuss the future of the European automotive industry, the challenges of autonomous driving with camera-only perception, the unique experiences of going coast-to-coast with full self-driving in a Tesla, as well as the emerging industries for sensors.

NOVELIC collaborated with Firefly, a Netherlands-based provider of smart lighting solutions, to create a mmWave radar-based human presence detection solution fit for most applications, with precommissioned units ready to be installed up to four times faster than conventional solutions. Read more
Modern office spaces and co-working spaces are becoming more data-driven and integrated with the digital world. Reliable occupancy sensing for offices and meeting rooms is crucial for automating lighting, HVAC and room occupancy data – which is where radar sensors emerge as an ideal solution. Read more
The world’s biggest technology show, CES, represents a pivotal moment for many industries, including the automotive industry – a moment for recalibration, and an opportunity for OEMs and Tier 1s to present their vision for mobility tech going forward. CES 2026 was NOVELIC’s fourth time at the exhibition, teaming up with Sona Comstar to present motor, driveline, and sensor solutions for the broader mobility sector. Read more
International regulations have started to coalesce around requirements for BSIS (Blind Spot Information System) and MOIS (Moving Off Information System) solutions to protect vulnerable road users. NOVELIC’s mmWave radar solutions present a cost-effective and robust way to address all the regulatory requirements for commercial vehicles in all markets. Read more
NOVELIC designed an ADAS Domain Control Unit, based on an ARM SoC, processing inputs from radar sensors, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors. The controller enabled perception for L2+ autonomy, with features such as 360° surround view, DMS, OMS, and radar-based park assist. Read more
The painful reality of vehicular heatstroke deaths inspired the automotive industry to make life-saving in-cabin monitoring technologies standard in all cars, with the Euro NCAP 2025 protocol setting the benchmark for automotive suppliers to develop solutions. NOVELIC used its mmWave radar expertise to bring a low-cost, high-performance solution to the market by 2026. Read more
For industrial sensors, the implementation of functional safety protocols is paramount to ensuring the protection of people in working environments. In this blog, we explore the challenges in implementing the IEC 61496-5 standard for industrial radar sensors. Read more
An overview of the safety implications of mmWave radar technology, explaining why it is non-ionizing, how thermal absorption affects human skin and eye tissue, and why regulated power levels make it safe for everyday use. Read more
