Stating how just the camera and radar are insufficient for safe and fully autonomous driving, engineering and technology company Bosch has developed a production-ready Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor.
In laymen’s terms, LIDAR is a method of surveying where a laser and sensor are used to measure distance. Bosch says that its LIDAR sensor is indispensable for full automation.
“Only the parallel deployment of three sensor principles ensures that automated driving will offer maximum safety when it is rolled out,” said Bosch. “There is a need for radar, camera, and LIDAR, with the three technologies complementing each other perfectly and delivering reliable information in every driving situation.”
“By filling the sensor gap, Bosch is making automated driving a viable possibility in the first place,” said Bosch management board member Harald Kroeger.
“We want to make automated driving safe, convenient, and fascinating. In this way, we will be making a decisive contribution to the mobility of the future,” added Kroeger.
