Luminar’s New Lidar Could Bring Vision to Every Robocar in the World

Self-driving cars are nearly ready for primetime, and so are the laser sensors that help them see the world.

Lidar, which builds a 3-D map of a car’s surroundings by firing millions of laser points a second and measuring how long they take to bounce back, has been in development since 2005, when a guy named Dave Hall made one for the Darpa Grand Challenge, an autonomous vehicle contest. In the decade-plus since then, if you wanted a lidar for your self-driving car, Velodyne was your only choice.
