In their latest revision, the lidars are designed to meet the challenging requirements we discovered in autonomously driving 2 million highly-telemetered miles on public roads. Our goal is to approach price points required for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) while meeting the performance needed for safe self-driving. This talk will review some history of the project and describe a few use-cases for lidars on Waymo cars. Out of that will emerge key differences between lidars for self-driving and traditional applications (e.g. mapping) which may provide opportunities for semiconductor lasers.","PeriodicalId":6652,"journal":{"name":"2017 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO)","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74955689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
