Sonar sensors are in active use on cars today, primarily in the form of parking sensors. These short-range (~5m) sensors enable a cheap way to know just how far that wall is behind your car. Sonar hasn’t been proven to work at the kinds of ranges a self-driving car demands (60m...
The LiDAR technology is backbone of self-driving cars to execute 3D mapping or the vehicle surroundings. There are a number of putting in motion start-ups and greatly sized organizations in the automobile-related industry who are working on the automobile- related lidar sensors based self-driving...
How do different autonomous sensors compare to one another? Learn more about the benefits of lidar vs. cameras in self-driving cars with this guide.
The Google prototype’s self-driving abilities are powered mainly by a LIDAR array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that’s reflected. When questioned on w...
In addition to weather conditions, interference can be caused by multiple LiDAR systems operating in proximity to each other. This is a common issue in self-driving cars. LiDAR relies heavily on the light it emits to gather data about its surroundings, but light coming from other cars may con...
