Rethinking the Three “Rs” of LiDAR: Rate, Resolution and Range
Conventional metrics used for evaluating the performance of LiDAR for autonomous vehicles (such as frame rate, full frame resolution, and detection range) do not sufficiently address the challenges facing autonomous driving. In response, AEye proposes three new metrics for extending LiDAR evaluation, including: extending the metric of frame rate to include object revisit rate; expanding resolution to capture instantaneous resolution; and extending detection range to reflect the more critically important object classification range.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles: Part I – Think Like a Robot, Perceive Like a Human
The artificial intelligence that drives autonomous vehicles will require artificial perception that is modeled after the greatest perception engine on the planet — the human visual cortex.
AEye iDAR: Sensor Performance Validation Report (VSI Labs)
Based off of their findings, VSI Labs determined that AEye's iDAR system "can detect and potentially classify objects with enough precision, accuracy, and distance not possible with conventional LiDAR or camera sensors."
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles: Part II – Blind Technology without Compassion Is Ruthless
To make truly safe, autonomous vehicles, will we need to “teach” them empathy and compassion?
Elon Musk Is Right: LiDAR Is a Crutch (Sort of.)
Mr. Musk is right. Relying solely on LiDAR can steer autonomous vehicle companies into innovation cul-de-sacs.
AEye Team Profile: Aravind Ratnam
I believe that Level 2 ADAS features will be mainstream by 2025 and may include LiDAR, as automakers realize its value in corner cases which camera and radar cannot adequately address.
AEye Team Profile: Bailey Da Costa
Ever since I was a kid I loved making things, so I think that’s why I gravitated towards engineering. I became interested in autonomous vehicles because I wanted to work at AEye.
AEye Team Profile: Vivek Thotla
I came to AEye from a Tier 1, so I know what goes into developing an automotive grade sensor, and the AEye team is made up of people from all over the automotive industry that have great, diverse insight into how to bring a product to market.
iDAR Sees Only What Matters
Only iDAR brings intelligence to the sensor layer. By fusing 1550 nanometer, solid-state agile LiDAR with a low-light HD camera, CV algorithms, and embedded AI - at the sensor - iDAR filters out the most important aspects of a given scene. With iDAR, the vehicle’s perception system can target only the salient 5% of data it needs to safely navigate. Watch how.

AEye Sets New Benchmark for LiDAR Range
Introducing 1KM AEye has set a new benchmark for LiDAR range. In performance specification tests monitored and validated by VSI Labs, AEye’s iDAR system acquired and tracked a truck at 1,000 meters – or one kilometer – five times the distance current LiDAR systems are able to detect! Watch now...
