LIDAR STANDARD ON VOLVO XC90
Volvo’s upcoming electric flagship SUV will come standard with a cutting edge suite of sensors and AI computing developed to allow for autonomous driving and to make the car safer over time. Lidar, which stands for light detection and ranging, uses light pulses to remotely measure and sense the area around the vehicle, essentially helping self-driving cars “see” the world around them. The lidar tech developed by Luminar, and paired with a NVIDIA autonomous driving computer, will not only help the next-generation Volvo XC90 navigate autonomously (at Level 3), but also allow it to receive updates and essentially “learn” as it ages.
