Will Thermal Sensors Create A Self-Driving Breakthrough?

For anyone questioning the strides being made in the world of autonomous vehicles, meet FLIR Systems. The California tech company has been developing its thermal sensor camera technology to enhance capabilities of self-driving cars. FLIR has been developing thermal sensor technology that could impact the future of self-driving vehicles. Ride actually had an opportunity to experience FLIR's thermal technology during a demo ride at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Widely known for its military applications, thermal sensors focus on heat emanating from objects, which makes the technology more efficient in detecting obstacles on the road across various depths of field.
