Flash LiDAR supports over-the-air updates for automotive apps
PreAct Technologies, an Oregon-based developer of near-field flash LiDAR technology, announced that its T30P flash LiDAR is now available. Vehicles with software-defined architectures require sensor technology that can support over-the-air updates over the life of the vehicle, and PreAct’s T30P sensor is the only flash LiDAR capable of meeting this requirement. As the industry’s first […]
FMCW LiDAR system offers polarization information
The Eyeonic Vision System is billed as the industry’s most compact and powerful coherent vision system on the market. The new system features the highest resolution, highest precision and longest range while remaining the only FMCW LiDAR solution to offer polarization information. The Eyeonic Vision System integrates the company’s unique photonics technology into the industry’s […]
Lidar sensor features range exceeding 1,000 m
The Eyeonic Vision Sensor has demonstrated the ability to perceive, identify, and avoid objects at a range of more than 1 kilometer. Having previously demonstrated a detection range of more than 500 m at CES earlier this year, SiLC has now optimized its technology to go beyond 1,000 m–a feat that no other company can […]
