When Milliseconds Count: The Impact of Adaptive Lidar on Perception Improvements

For autonomous systems to coexist with human drivers on highways, adequate reaction times are required for safe path planning. Hardware-centric lidars offer passive performance for redundancy but don’t optimize data to reduce the perception systems’ reaction times based on operational domains. This 30-minute Webinar will examine how adaptive lidar can optimize output and allow higher-speed vehicle operation with graceful braking.

Topics include:

• The importance of reaction times, with a comparison of human and machine processing cycles
• A step-by-step overview of lidar-based perception systems
• A look at inherent limitations of hardware-centric passive lidar systems
• The benefits of adaptive, high performance, software-configurable lidar in point density at long ranges
• The passenger impact of optimized 3D data

An audience Q&A follows the technical presentation.
