This paper will primarily deal with obstacle detection and the benefits that radar technology provides as the primary interface. The concept that is being proposed involves using a non-industrialized radar to achieve similar results when trying to detect a present object. By being able to achieve a working radar detection system at a more general domain, the path to it becoming more universal accessible increases. This, in turn, will hopefully amplify the areas in which radar technology can be applied to and lead to great benefits universally. From the compiled data and the work that has been done to achieve a responsive radar, it is noted that the radar will provide an accurate reading in most conditions that it is introduced to. These conditions vary from range resolution aspects to various weather environments, as well as the visibility aspect. However, based on the results that were achieved, through various testing, there are still some areas in which radar technology needs to improve in, for it to be fully considered as the sole interface when it comes to obstacle detection and its integration into future technology like self-driving cars. Nevertheless, the capabilities of radar technology at this caliber is noted to be quite impressive and similar to other more expansive options that are available.
