Object detecting apparatus
An object detecting apparatus includes a first transmission and reception unit having a first transmitter and a first receiver, a second transmission and reception unit having a second transmitter and a second receiver, and a failure judging section. The first receiver produces a first output signal corresponding to a transmission wave, which is transmitted directly from the second transmitter to the first receiver. The second receiver produces a second output signal corresponding to a transmission wave, which is transmitted directly from the first transmitter to the second receiver. Using at least one of the first output signal and the second output signal, the failure judging section judges whether a failure of the first transmitter or the second receiver has occurred, or judges whether a failure of the first transmission and reception unit or the second transmission and reception unit has occurred.
