Quanergy Develops Lidar for Self-Driving Cars

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Quanergy Systems Inc. plans to release the first solid-state lidar sensor for self-driving cars in 2016.

The sensor contains an integrated circuit that scans in every direction without any moving parts on both the macro- and microscale, creating a live 3D view around a vehicle, and detecting, classifying, and tracking objects in the scene.

The company expects the device to cost less than $1,000, and has established partnerships with automotive companies including Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai-Kia and Renault-Nissan.

Quanergy's artificial intelligence-powered, lidar-based sensing system is already used in more than 30 markets, including transportation, mapping, industrial automation and security.

Glossary
lidar
Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
