LiDAR is a key technology in the development of autonomous vehicles. In combination with radar and camera systems, it acts as the vision of the car that captures the surroundings. A novel chip design for infrared lasers from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors now enables much clearer and sharper images of the surroundings.

A laser can clock your speed in under half a second 😯 Police use LIDAR speed guns, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, to pinpoint a single vehicle and measure its exact speed. The device sends out a focused laser beam that bounces off your car, and by calculating how long the light takes to return, it determines your speed with remarkable accuracy, down to fractions of a mile per hour. Unlike radar, which casts a wide signal that can pick up multiple vehicles, LIDAR is precise enough
