MIT’s New Lidar Chip Gives Self Driving Cars a Wider View MIT researchers have developed a lidar chip that can provide self driving cars with a wider, clearer view without relying on moving parts.
This breakthrough has significant implications for autonomous vehicle development, as it addresses some of the key limitations of traditional lidar sensors.
Lidar stands for Light Detection and Ranging – a technology that uses pulses of infrared light to create detailed 3D maps of the surrounding environment.
