LiDAR technologies are soaring high! Studies published by , , , and confirm this. Inkwood Research Grand View Research Markets And Markets Research And Markets The technology as the key enabler. The report by Research And Markets says that the automotive LiDAR market should then reach more than $100M in revenue by 2020 and grow up to $44B in 2050. Advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and Autonomous cars use LiDAR technology. Automatic emergency braking(AEB) and Adaptive cruise control(ACC) are two dominant components that use LiDAR in ADAS. According to Markets And Markets, the market for ADAS driverless car is estimated to grow at the highest during this period. automotive industry is changing with LiDAR technology While in this technology, , , , FARO Technologies are the key players. Ford, Nvidia, and BOSCH are the top contenders. U.S, Canada, UK, Germany, Japan, India, China, Brazil, and Mexico are the countries which are adopting these technologies in autonomous cars and new mobilities at a faster rate than rest of the world. prominent automakers are making enormous investments Autonomoustuff BLOM Raymetric LiDAR System Widely sought LiDAR services are map generation and annotation. , a self-driving car startup, collaborates with for its annotation needs and for its map generation. Point cloud processing like costs approximately $4032 while costs around EUR 4000.
