LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology pervading many different industries. One of the biggest examples is driverless cars. LiDAR can help a vehicle understand and respond to the changing environment around it.
An increasing number of car manufacturers are introducing LiDAR-based systems, such as Volvo's EX90 fully electric SUV, to help keep the vehicle a safe distance from other traffic and obstacles in the road ahead.
