How Will Lidar Technologies and Business Landscape Evolve?
1 min readLidar is an optical sensor technology that enables machines to see the world, make decisions and navigate. 3D lidar systems scan beams of light to create a virtual model of the environment.
Reflected light signals are measured and processed by the machine to detect objects, identify objects, and decide how to interact with objects. At present, machines using lidar range from small service robots to self-driving cars. Most car manufacturers consider 3D lidar essential for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles, and 3D lidar start-ups in this market have secured $1.9 billion USD in funding. […]
