  • Patent number: 11726167
    Abstract: A radar cover is disposed on a path of a radio wave of a radar unit for detecting a surrounding situation of a vehicle. The radar cover includes, a plate-like transparent member having a housing recess recessed toward a front and formed on a back surface thereof, a colored core housed in the housing recess in a state of being in contact with a bottom surface of the housing recess, and a support member bonded to the back surface of the transparent member. In at least a portion of a region forming the housing recess when viewed from a front side of the transparent member, the depth of the housing recess is set to be larger than the thickness of the colored core, and a portion of the support member is filled in a region where the colored core is not disposed in a space surrounded by the housing recess.
