The Role of LiDAR in Enabling Safe and Efficient Autonomous Vehicles
Caption: LiDAR technology uses laser beams to create a 3D map of the environment around an autonomous vehicle, enabling it to detect and classify objects accurately and navigate safely on the road.
Autonomous Vehicle Tech Fact: LiDAR Technology
- LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a key technology used in autonomous vehicles to detect objects and obstacles in the vehicle's surroundings.
- LiDAR works by using laser beams to create a 3D map of the environment around the vehicle.
- This allows the vehicle's software to detect and classify objects, such as other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, and to accurately determine their distance and position relative to the vehicle.
- LiDAR is particularly useful in low light conditions, where cameras may not be able to detect objects as accurately.
- LiDAR is just one of the many technologies that enable autonomous vehicles to navigate safely and efficiently on roads around the world.
