Abstract
The race to develop automated driving technologies is challenging. In order to realize automated driving,
sensors that detect obstacles in a vehicle’s path and a fusion of multiple sensor inputs surrounding a
vehicle are necessary. As a result, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor technology is expected
to be dominant in this space, along with millimeter-wave RADAR and cameras. Recent trends in
LIDAR and Laser technologies for automated driving are reviewed here.
