LiDAR Sensor for Self-Driving Cars

Progressive technological development results in modern automotive technology such as self-driving automobiles. These require sensors to collect data about nearby objects and the surroundings in order to identify lanes and make decisions. Instead of LiDAR sensors (Light Detection and Ranging), Tesla, Waymo, and other successful businesses have employed cameras for developing autonomous vehicles. The disadvantage of camera performance changing with lighting conditions can be solved by using LiDAR. The LiDAR sensor aids in 3D mapping, allowing cars to travel in a predictable environment. The use of cameras for monitoring normal driving circumstances might be difficult because of the large range of features they include, but LiDAR contains infrared light, which is a solution for concerns such as fog, rainy weather, and varied textures. Developing sensors driven by computer vision can lead to more environmental sensing for self-driving automobiles in the future. This study discusses the use of LiDAR sensors in autonomous cars.
