Velodyne was the pioneer in automotive lidar sensors, providing the units used on the vehicles that won the DARPA Grand Challenge 13 years ago. Those iconic rotating buckets on the roof of many ...

A computer algorithm then assembles these shapes and forms a complete picture of the world around the vehicle. A rotating or spinning LiDAR sensor located at the top of the vehicle will capture a ...

the conventional wisdom has held that Velodyne's design—which involves mounting 64 lasers onto a rotating gimbal—would soon be rendered obsolete by a new generation of solid-state lidar ...

Not so many years ago when automated driving was all the rage, there were more than 70 lidar startups around the world along with some established suppliers like Bosch developing their own sensors.

However, it has been impossible to observe the front and rear of the vehicle simultaneously because a rotating LiDAR sensor was used. To overcome this issue, a research team led by Professor ...

I know AEye works with solid-state lidar. Why is this important for trucking applications, and do you see rotating lidar sensors being a thing of the past? Nelson: Solid state is a term ...
