In Germany, Japan and the United States, famous carmakers are in trouble. One reason is intense competition from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturersβand growing public demand for EVs. The automakers that dominated the 20th century have largely failed to shift to electric vehicles.
This novel LiDAR system maps location, speed, and material properties in a single measurement, opening new possibilities for autonomous driving and robotics.
<p>The new LiDAR system can simultaneously measure the location, speed, and material properties (polarization) of objects in a scene, which could be useful for autonomous driving.</p>
