The next big thing in automotive radar will be the 4D imaging radar. It has limited adoption but started shipping for production vehicles in 2021.The 4D imaging radar will generate a true point cloud that will be monitored point by point, cluster by cluster, frame by frame, to help classify (and track) objects, in addition…
Polestar and Luminar will deepen their partnership by putting Luminar’s technology on the Polestar 5, an electric 4-door GT expected to launch next year, based on the Polestar Precept concept. This expanded partnership provides a foundation to further collaborate on lidar integration and design on Polestar’s future vehicles.Both the Polestar 3 and Polestar 5 will…
AMD’s adaptive computing technology is powering Denso’s next-generation lidar platform to deliver a more-than-twentyfold improvement in resolution with extremely low latency, for increased precision in detecting pedestrians, vehicles, free space and more—and to enable ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification.Denso’s SPAD (single-photon avalanche diode) lidar system, powered by AMD’s XA Zynq UltraScale+ multi-processor system-on-a-chip (MPSoC) platform, is…
Lumotive and Lumentum Holdings have announced availability of the M30 Reference Design, a complete sensor implementation of their software-defined lidar solution. The design integrates Lumotive’s Light Control Metasurface (LCM) beam steering chips and Lumentum’s M52-100 multi-junction VCSEL array. Lumotive demonstrated the LCM beam steering technology at SPIE Photonics West 2023 in San Francisco.Lumotive’s VP of…

Their AtomicSense radar technology been recognised for its exceptional performance—it won a CES 2023 Innovation Award.AtomicSense offers faster scanning time, 10× better resolution, and a 2.5× improvement in range compared to conventional radar offerings. This performance is…
The future of lidar is partly linked to autonomous driving. In this chapter, you can get a bit of end-user experience to understand what autonomous driving means and where you might use it in the near future. Autonomous-mobility-as-a-service company Zoox have announced a major milestone in the development of AVs: the world’s first purpose-built robotaxi…
The Lidar Coalition focuses on promoting the deployment of lidar-based ‘intelligent’ infrastructure and automotive safety technology. They engage in public policy advocacy; educational efforts, and thought leadership to maximize the public benefit of lidar deployment.Ariel Wolf, Chair of the Autonomous and Connected Mobility Practice Group at Venable LLP—who serve as legal counsel to the coalition,…
At CES, Benewake unveiled their new 512-line, automotive-grade AD2 lidar. They demonstrated their technology in a high-definition vehicle road test, enabling participants to experience the real-time perception function.Safety is the most important thing for intelligent driving, and how to allow sufficient observation and response time for intelligent driving users is a critical factor which is…
Innovusion, experts in design and development of image-grade lidar technology, showed off their products for autonomous driving at CES this year. Their long-range Falcon lidar was honored with a CES Innovation Award.At CES, Innovusion exhibited a bird’s eye live view of intersections of booth walkways. Visitors could also experience an immersive and interactive VR journey of…
