It's not clear that LIDAR offers any real advantages over a camera suite combined with RADAR.
LIDAR has the same limitations as optical cameras with regards to rain, fog, etc.
As image processing capabilities continue to improve, the case for LIDAR gets weaker.
- Animats 10y agoLIDAR has the same limitations as optical cameras with regards to rain, fog, etc. Actually, no. With appropriate signal processing, LIDAR units can see through rain and fog. The early noise returns from rain and fog can be gated out until the system gets a reflection from something solid. There are expensive LIDAR binoculars that can see through fog. You adjust the minimum range until you're seeing past the fog. So far, automotive LIDAR units don't have that feature, but they could.
