Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Artificial eyes: How robots will see in the future

How do autonomous cars drive? What are their “eyes” to identify objects on the way to react? You can think of technologies like cameras, ultrasonic sensors, or radar, but they have limitations on the road. Cameras aren’t reliable in the fog, ultrasonic sensors’ range is limited, and radars can’t differentiate a human and a tree.

The most applicable solution at present is Lidar, light detection and ranging technology. It emits laser beams, measures the time for a bounce back, and create 3D maps around the vehicle very accurately, thanks to the high-speed computing technology to process an enormous amount of real-time data.

However, the cost and size are both still too much for conventional vehicles. When the Lidar system becomes cheap and small enough to fit in your car, you’ll be freed from driving and able to enjoy chatting or watching a drama on your smartphone.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about this arising technology to help you drive or allow you to sit back and relax in your car.
