For Autonomy Camera infers a 3-D model from a 2-D image; RADAR struggles with detection, particularly at distance. This means camera/RADAR have unreliable object detection & distance measurement to enable autonomy. LiDAR provides most reliable 3-D context & object detection, broad sensor utility, and functional availability in all driving scenarios & conditions to enable autonomy. LiDAR also introduces redundancy with other sensors. For Safety Vehicles with current camera/RADAR systems experienced collisions in 70% of pedestrian AEB scenarios*. Safety regulations are getting increasingly tough. 0% of camera/RADAR systems today appear equipped to meet tougher safety standards. LiDAR introduces reliable object detection & distance measurement to reduce collisions and avoid false positives. LIDAR’S ADVANTAGE Why LiDAR? Luminar LiDAR © 2025 Luminar Technologies, Inc.
