Take a look at the LIDAR and integrated photonics technologies that help self-driving cars navigate obstacles, no matter the environment, weather or light.
—
It’s late, pitch dark and a self-driving car winds down a narrow country road. Suddenly, three hazards appear at the same time. With no human at the wheel, the car uses smart eyes, sensors that’ll resolve these details all in a split-second. How is this possible? Sajan Saini explains how LIDAR and integrated photonics technology make self-driving cars a reality.

Here after tesla

I sure don't want to end up in a court room for homicide because my LiDAR system malfunctioned…
How does it stay within its lane tho to begin with ? Not the lidar part how does the car know where to position itself on the road
it is just awesome
Lol im dead when i saw the quick on and of switching
A vey satisfying video.
Meanwhile it starts to rain then snow and covers the sensors…….
LIDAR: Erm! Over to you buddy!
One day my car will drive me to the police station if I have outstanding fines… how nice..
So when these things grow in popularity, how safe are they going to be for incoming traffic? When I'm driving down a single lane highway and someonens coming at me with their headlights on its uncomfortable for a few moments. But if I'm constantly exposed to lasers as I meet these vehicles on the single lane highway what will that do over time to my eyesight?
I think we can all agree that, this person is our favorite ted-ed narrator.
Crazy! These people are incredible

light "waves" do not interfere with each other. They are not like ripples in a pond either. and how would the light be slowed down? light travels at a constant velocity, C. it may seem to go slower in denser mediums but that's because there are more particles in the way, making the light bounce around more and travel in less of a straight line, making it appear to go slower. Is this a kids show? because, like grade school, everything has been oversimplified to the point of being WRONG!!
As someone who doesn't drive for health reasons and wants a fully autonomous vehicle in the future, this was really informative on how self-driving cars actually work! Thanks Ted-Ed 🙂
Some of the best narration on YouTube
TESLA – NNO
3:16 So we can slow down the speed of Light now? 😲

I studied physics then dropped out of my full ride with my kid years ago. I did develop an ego because of it because I thought I knew everything. Finding years’ old videos of Ted that I hadn’t realized I missed completely, I realize I know nothing.
It is a great technology. I'm just contemplating what a hunting robot could do to a herd of humans with similar tech…
Human eyes are still the best despite its limitations…
Wow
It's baffling, we didn't even know how to conduct electricity a few hundred years ago, and now we're at autonomous cars.
I came from the touchscreen ted ed
Nikola Tesla predicted self driving cars in the like 1890s I believe
How does a Lidar system distinguish between its own reflected impulses and ones emitted by an ongoing car which is suited with the same system?
Crazy lazy white
Very good, but I suggest use lesser animations it hurts my eyes.
어릴 때는 공상과학 영화에서만 나오는 내용이라고 생각했지만, 지금 실제로 시험 운행 중에 있는 자율주행 자동차들을 보면 정말 기술이 많이 발전했다는 것을 느끼고 있습니다. 저는 자율주행 자동차들이 내장되어 있는 카메라로 주변 환경을 본다고 생각했는데, 이 영상을 보니 오히려 박쥐가 초음파를 이용해 길을 찾는 방법과 더 유사한 것 같습니다. 유익한 영상 감사합니다!
And people still think they can drive better than an autonomous car 😂
Over thinking it ; just use a camera , and headlights for at night
so interesting
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Einstein.
You are an algorithm and nothing more. When they run over you you're erased and corrected for another algorithm. I will NEVER GET IN ONE OF THESE.
Why didn't they use camera's face recognition instead of sensor .

I feel like they should have more than one type of sensor. Like a heat sensor that can recognize human shapes.
I know tesla Don't uses LIDAR technology
