Those advances and being able to supply LiDAR sensors in high volume is vital for the young company as robot car fleets grow exponentially, from a few thousand worldwide currently to many times ...

Velodyne, a leading maker of laser-based LiDAR, or Light, Detection and Ranging, sensors, says it has designed a new solid-state version of its technology that provides 3D imaging for automated ...

The device is basically a pair of waveguides that form four ports, with only three in use. Ports 1 and 2 are directly connected, while port 3 is in a separate waveguide.

Car crashes aren’t very funny. Unless, apparently, it’s a self-driving car. Researchers on public perception of these new vehicles explain why.

The LIDAR in question spins at 5-20Hz (warning: PDF), user-selectable. A single-laser device could spin at 20Hz with a 4-position vertical step and achieve 4 lines at 5Hz wth no advancement in tech.

Innoviz CEO and co-founder noted in a press release that “companies are currently spending tens of thousands of dollars on under-performing LiDAR solutions” for testing, which is likely a dig ...

What is LiDAR? How everyday devices use lasers to scan your environment Written by Dave Johnson 2021-01-12T22:09:27Z ...

A lidar system from Velodyne, a leading manufacturer, can cost $75,000 — an unrealistic price tag for a consumer who’s already spending thousands of dollars on a car.

GM said last month it would be able to slash the cost of its next-generation lidar in half to $10,000 because of in-house development at Cruise Automation, the automaker’s San Francisco-based ...

New research shows Apple is not only working to add LiDAR to "Apple Car" and its augmented reality efforts, but also how to make devices utilize the image data faster.
