For instance, Google’s self-driving car project, Waymo, utilizes a combination of sensors, lidar (light detection and ranging – a technology similar to RADAR), and cameras. It combines data ...

Omnitron Sensors, which makes MEMS sensor chips, has raised $13 million to create inexpensive sensors for self-driving cars.

Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk reiterated his criticism of LiDAR on Wednesday but explained that he is not fundamentally against the technology.

Alteration made to the LiDAR sensor attached to car’s roof made the single biggest aerodynamic difference. Credit: Yiping Wang “Externally mounted sensors significantly increase aerodynamic ...

How it Differs Google Earth renderings (like this one of Dublin) use high-altitude imagery to create an approximation of the surfaces below. Lidar ... down on houses or cars.

To make that happen, cars need a sophisticated system of vehicle sensors and related processing. Beyond camera and radar, a third sensor – light detection and ranging (LiDAR) – is gaining popularity.

Everything to know about autonomous vehicles and the technology behind them, from truly self-driving cars to the advanced driver assistance features coming to the vehicles already on the road.
