University of Washington researchers develop smaller, cheaper form of LiDAR technology

New LiDAR technology invented by University of Washington researchers integrates onto a computer chip and uses sound waves running over its surface to steer a laser beam, much like a searchlight, so self-driving cars can see objects such as pedestrians and other vehicles that are far in the distance.

One such sensing technology, LiDAR, has many potential applications, but is often too large or too expensive to be a viable ...
