4 Evolving Trends Making LiDAR Sensors Easier to Design in Driverless Cars

Driverless cars aren’t mainstream, yet. But, new technology and evolving trends could make robotic driving as common as backup cameras are in new cars. The main changes stem from the LiDAR sensors that give driverless cars the ability to “see.” The sensors, which rapidly bounce laser beams off its surroundings to get a clear picture […]
