Arguably the top LiDAR producer in the world, Velodyne LiDAR, has just cut the price of its most popular offering — the VLP-16 — in half.
Much of the price cut is down to growing demand for LiDAR sensors, and thus improving production efficiencies, according to a press release from the company.
The prominent LiDAR developer and manufacturer Velodyne LiDAR has come to terms with Unmanned Solution of South Korea to partner on the testing and development self-driving vehicles and tech, according to a new press release.
A Seeking Alpha writer says Tesla has a big lead over other companies in autonomous technology because it has chosen to not use expensive LIDAR technology. A new study says self-driving systems that rely on cameras can be just as effective and cost considerably less.
The self-driving vehicle vision systems tech firm Velodyne LiDAR has more than quadrupled production of its high-performance LiDAR sensors in recent days in response to rising global demand for the product, according to a new press release from the company.
The China-based tech giant Baidu has released the newest iteration of its widely used open-source autonomous driving platform Apollo — which has been dubbed Apollo 1.5, appropriately enough.
The China-based tech giant Baidu is slated to soon release a list of more than 30 manufacturing partners that are working with it on the development of self-driving vehicle tech — a list that includes the auto manufacturer Chery Automobile — according to recent reports.
The most prominent company in the LiDAR sector, Velodyne, has announced that it will be releasing a new, low-cost, fixed-laser, solid-state LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor dubbed “Velarray” next year.
Just how far from being a reality are consumer-available self-driving cars? That’s a hard question to answer — and one that’s sure to fire up (in some circles) some heated debates. But perhaps an answer isn’t as far off as we now think — with so many major developers readying … [continued]
