Affordable LiDAR Adoption in Connected and Autonomous Cars

Autonomous Car as a nascent technology is at the core of numerous dynamics. The need to develop a suite of sensors that guarantee robust perception is top priority. 

Then, one can observe that, many established vendors and innovative startups are positioning solid-state light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technologies as a cost-effective means to industrialize reliable obstacle detection and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in autonomous vehicles. ABI Research expects solutions to come to market beginning in 2019, with the market value nearing US$13 billion by 2027.
