Automation Will Be a Continuum

"You will need all of them", says Dr. Louay Eldada. Eldada, CEO of Quanergy was referring to the idea of fusing multiple types of sensors together to paint a complete picture of a vehicle's environment. This picture Eldada describes is one that is more crisp and extensive (360 degree view) than what a human could see. Quanergy's focus in the autonomous vehicle world is creating solid-state LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) modules that, as Eldada points out, provides a resolution of 3.5 centimeters at 100 meters. This sort of resolution allows for the recognition of cars and even shapes as small as hands.
