Description:

language:en;Take a look at the LIDAR and integrated photonics technologies that help self-driving cars navigate obstacles;no matter the environment;weather or light. -- It’s late;pitch dark and a self-driving car winds down a narrow country road. Suddenly;three hazards appear at the same time. With no human at the wheel;the car uses smart eyes;sensors that’ll resolve these details all in a split-second. How is this possible? Sajan Saini explains how LIDAR and integrated photonics technology make self-driving cars a reality. Lesson by Sajan Saini;directed by Artrake Studio.
