Lidar technology is fundamental to vehicle autonomy,
safety, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
David E. Zoia, Editorial Director at WardsAuto, wrote
about Velodyne’s latest lidar
products and their applications
in the Wards Intelligence story “Velodyne
Says Nearing Mass Production of Forward-Facing Lidar.”
In looking at Velodyne and its lidar products, Zoia
wrote, how the company “continues advancing the technology even as it keeps an
eye on the rest of the field in its rearview mirror.”
Zoia spoke with Marta Thoma Hall, President & CBDO of
Velodyne Lidar, who reviewed the state of lidar technology, mass production of
Velodyne sensors, lidar’s role in improving vehicle safety and more.
In discussing safety, Hall noted, “What we want to do
with our ADAS system is to cut down on 90% of accidents, which are caused by
front-facing accidents. This will actually save lives. This will not be a
comfort or convenience feature. We plan for it to be a safety system.”
