With a solution for autonomous cars, unprecedented technology takes the generation of infrared lasers to another level.

LiDAR, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is a key technology in the development of autonomous vehicles.

It works as follows: at very short intervals, an infrared laser sends pulses of light into the vehicle's environment. When light reaches an object, it is reflected and recorded by a sensor.

The system can then calculate the distance from the light to the object and vice versa to initiate the appropriate actions, such as, for example, braking. Therefore, it is an indispensable...
