Self-driving cars have to ‘see’ everything around them, to safely navigate our streets. Autonomous vehicles are given this “sight” using Light Detection and Ranging devices also known as ‘L.I.D.A.R.’ It works like RADAR, but rather than sending out radio waves, LIDAR uses laser light. The systems sent out laser beams and measure how long it takes them to bounce back.
