Lidar Sensor
A light-based sensor that maps surroundings using laser pulses.
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) emits laser beams to create high-resolution 3D maps of the environment. It's crucial for autonomous navigation and obstacle detection. Lidar sensors capture detailed distance and shape data even in low light. They're sensitive to dirt and vibration, requiring stable mounting and occasional cleaning. Continuous advancements make Lidar smaller, cheaper, and more robust for mass-market vehicles.
