A shared pulse-CW optical path lets LiDAR measure distance and Doppler velocity together, improving consistency while limiting noise and edge effects.
An optical encoder, kingpin coupler, and LIDAR measure trailer articulation accurately for safer autonomous reversing in yards.
Coherent lidar uses Doppler velocity data to map object points across frames, improving AV tracking speed and path planning.
Multiple receive apertures and optical phased arrays improve photon collection, cut background noise, and tolerate speckle in coherent LiDAR.
RLS-based cluster velocity estimation improves RADAR object tracking in clutter while avoiding costly non-linear state updates.
Traveling wind enters a shielding plate opening to cool a vehicle ranging mount, removing the fan and cutting size and cost.
Map and pose data guide a steerable sensor toward an occlusion-free goal location, improving obstacle detection on turns and uneven terrain.
Absolute velocity vectors and LIDAR area division keep fused tracks aligned with actual shape data despite large reference point errors.
A pivotable mirror and oblique support arm extend a hood-mounted LiDAR sensor's line of sight beyond the vehicle front for better obstacle detection.
