When Google unveiled its first autonomous cars in 2010, the spinning cylinder mounted on the roofs really stood out. It was the vehicle’s light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, which worked like light-based radar. Together with cameras and radar, LiDAR mapped the environment to help these cars avoid obstacles and … [continued]
The Hamburg-based LiDAR sensor specialist Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH will begin worldwide delivery of its new ibeoNEXT LiDAR sensor to partners and customers starting in October 2020. The sensor is based on a completely new type of photon laser measurement technology and works completely without moving parts (real solid-state).
The solid-state LiDAR sensor manufacturer Quanergy has now opened its first facility to mass produce solid-state LiDAR sensors for the automotive industry (amongst others).
The new production factory makes Quanergy the first in the LiDAR sector to begin manufacturing cost-effective LiDAR sensors in volume — by the accounting of Quanergy at any rate (it’s seemingly true, to be fair here).
The robotic vision tech company AEye has successfully completed a live demo of its solid-state commercial LiDAR system (with 360° vehicle coverage) in a metropolitan setting, according to a new press release.
