Over the last few years, carmakers have been relentlessly pursuing “the car of the future” — one that is electric, autonomous, and connected, and that contains a full range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This column looks at the motivations and challenges for lidar and the remarkable advancements in photonics and lighting technologies that are helping to make the car of the future a reality. According to a recent market report, the global ADAS market is forecast to grow from $44 billion in sales in 2020 to just under $95 billion in 2024, a compound annual...Read full article

    lidar
    Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
