Waymo bringing 3D perimeter lidar to partners - Telematics Wire

Waymo from 2011 has been developing its own set of sensors from the ground up, including three different types of lidars. The company is now making these sensors available to companies outside of self-driving?--?beginning with robotics, security, agricultural technology, and more?--?so they can achieve their own technological breakthroughs. The company has announced that one of our 3D lidar sensors, called Laser Bear Honeycomb, is available to select partners. According to the company, Laser Bear Honeycomb is a best-in-class perimeter sensor. That means one Honeycomb can do the job of three other 3D sensors stacked on top of one another.
