LAS VEGAS, United States, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- In the competitive area of autonomous driving, Chinese LiDAR companies are playing an increasingly important role in paving the way for a future where cars navigate through streets without human intervention. High-level driving automation is driven by...
The article discusses the advancement of lidar in autonomous vehicles. It mentions that lidar is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. It notes that a semiconductor-laser based flash lidar systems with vertical-...
Still a relatively young photonic technology, LiDAR emerged shortly after the invention of the laser in 1960 with its first formal use in NASA's Apollo 15 Mission to map the moon in 1971. LiDAR today is being commercialized for use in autonomous driving. LiDAR is a key component of an ...

China's tech giants join battlefield of LiDAR in self-driving cars for improved features and lower prices Editing by Greg Gao/WM Zhang With more manufacturers going into the autonomous driving market, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), a core laser sensor technology behind it, is becoming the...
lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that’s reflected. When questioned on whether future Tesla cars would need more sensors, potentially including LIDAR, Musk suggests that this technology “doesn’t make sense” and is “unnecessary” in the ...
SOS LAB, a South Korean startup who develops hybrid LiDAR for self-driving cars, is going to introduce its 3D LiDAR sensor at CES 2019. In addition to their 3D hybrid LiDAR (SL-1) for autonomous vehicles, SOS LAB will display their 2D scanning LiDAR (GL-3) for auto-guided vehicles an...
Autonomous driving has been widely applied in commercial and industrial applications, along with the upgrade of environmental awareness systems. Tasks such as path planning, trajectory tracking, and obstacle avoidance are strongly dependent on the abilit
Autonomous drivinghas become synonymous with electric vehicles. Several EV makers employ some type of self-driving technology in their cars. Themost noteworthy is Tesla’s Autopilot. However, most consumer EV systems use a matrix of cameras and proximity sensors for autonomous driving modes. ...
Jordan Greene: There are a number of different sensors that will always be prevalent in autonomous vehicle business-model challenges. There are the three that you mention — cameras, radar, and LiDAR — and a slew of others. The interesting thing is that it's spectrum of value that you get...
