A team of scientists have integrated an ultrasensative sensor called a “superconducting nanowire single-photon detector,” or SNSPD, into a LiDAR system with incredible results. Capable of ...

One reddit user found out earlier this month that car-mounted lidar sensors can damage a phone camera under certain circumstances. It was the technological equivalent of staring directly into the Sun.

Lidar uses laser light to allow researchers to build a high-resolution three-dimensional model of the deep seafloor (top) that is more detailed than bathymetric maps collected by traditional multibeam ...

Volvo's lidar system, for example, uses 1550-nanometer lasers, and at that wavelength, the light can't even reach the retina. We still wouldn't recommend staring at them, though.

Well, as Jalopnik points out while referring its readers to the below video of a Volvo EX90’s Lidar scanner wrecking a camera sensor on the iPhone 16 Pro Max filming it, doing so can be “the ...

LiDAR and vSLAM are two of the most popular navigation methods used by today's best robot vacuums. Working in conjunction with various sensors, they help the robot vacuum find its way around your ...

Waymo's robotaxis are equipped with five lidars, six radar sensors, and 29 cameras. Waymo says lidar and radar help the robotaxi detect pedestrians before cameras can. The company showed how ...

EA scanned five tracks on F1 race weekends: Bahrain, Miami, Melbourne, Suzuka and Imola. It then used millions of data points from those batches to recreate the courses for F1 2025. "These tracks ...

Scientists still debate whether lidar stands for “laser imaging, detection and ranging” or “light detection and ranging.” Either acronym accurately summarizes the technology, which uses ...

Researchers report a new single-photon Raman lidar system that operates underwater and can remotely distinguish various substances. They also show that the new system can detect the thickness of ...

Introduced a few years ago, the LiDAR scanner is available on the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15, as well as the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 and later.
