How 3D lidar will revolutionize the car industry

The car industry is already in the midst of a revolution. The first major change witnessed by the car industry was the evolution of the car. Once, it was just thought of as a mode of transportation. Today, it has become a computer on wheels that can drive itself and is connected to your digital life so that you never have to be out of touch. The next step in this revolution is 3D lidar, or light detection and ranging – which uses lasers to measure distances.

The car industry is already in the midst of a revolution.

The car industry is already in the midst of a revolution. The traditional product-based model is transforming into a digital one, and 3D lidar is at the heart of this transformation.

The big difference between conventional LiDAR and 3D lidar? Price point. Conventional sensors can cost up to £20,000 per unit; 3D sensors can run as low as £2,000 per unit. That makes them more affordable and accurate than conventional LiDAR sensors—a game-changer for this industry!

As a result of their affordability and accuracy, self-driving cars will be able to replace human drivers faster than we think—and that’s just one example of how it will help with AI and self-driving technology.


The first major change witnessed by the car industry is the evolution of the car.

The automotive industry is one of the most dynamic industries in the world. Cars have been around for over a century, but have changed a lot in that time. In 1900, cars were mostly used by wealthy people as luxury items to show off their wealth and mobility. By the 1950s, gasoline was so cheap that most Americans could afford to buy cars for themselves or at least rent them on vacation when they went on road trips with family and friends. Today, cars are more than just an accessory; they’re considered an essential part of life in many parts of our country (and even around the world).


The next step in this revolution is 3D lidar, or light detection and ranging – which uses lasers to measure distances.

In order to function properly, 3D lidar needs to know where it is on the car and where it has been at all times. While GPS can be used for this purpose, there are several advantages of implementing a more accurate sensor:

  • The system doesn’t need a direct line of sight to work; it can detect objects in its periphery as well. This makes it ideal for working within tight spaces like cars or busy traffic conditions where lines of sight may not always be available.
  • It emits very little radiation so there is no risk of exposure from the laser beam itself (unlike traditional radar).


When did it come into being?

It is a relatively new technology that’s used in cars, construction, and other industries. It’s used to help detect objects before they’re visible with an ordinary camera. The system works by firing laser pulses out at the surrounding environment and measuring how long it takes for them to return after hitting an obstacle. This enables the device to determine its positions with nanometer accuracy—around one billionth of a meter!

This data is then processed by sophisticated sensors on board your car or another device so that you can see what lies ahead without having to look at any screens or monitors.
