Silicon lidar chip brings accuracy at low cost to autonomous vehicles

by

A compact 3D lidar imaging system has been developed that its creators say can match the performance and accuracy of most advanced, mechanical systems currently used.  Lidar (light and radar) uses the precision of lasers to sense an environment by emitting them into the nearby environment and measuring the time taken for them to be … Read more

Radar could help self-driving cars ‘see’ clearly in foggy conditions

by

Engineers in the US have developed a way to improve the imaging capability of existing radar sensors – a system that could enable self-driving cars to ‘see’ what’s up ahead regardless of the weather.  Inclement weather conditions pose a challenge for the development of self-driving cars. These vehicles rely on technology such as LiDAR and … Read more
