We all dream of a day when we\u2019ll be able to take a comfortable seat in our car only to type in an address before spending our morning commute leisurely catching up on the news, drinking some coffee, and \u2014 most of all \u2014 not worrying about traffic. <\/span><\/p>

Technology that seems today like science fiction is approaching more rapidly than you might think. <\/span><\/p>

Companies like Google and Tesla are making sure and steady progress toward vehicles that can actually map the area immediately around them and use that information to determine the safest path from point A to point B.<\/span><\/p>

\"lidar<\/p>

Of course, it’s a goal that\u2019s easier said than accomplished. Being able to process the immense amount of information required for a car to pilot itself is a feat that, until recent years, hasn\u2019t even been possible. <\/span><\/p>

Thanks to a huge leap forward in detection and ranging technology called Lidar<\/a>, companies are making self-driving vehicles that are smarter and safer than ever before.<\/span><\/p>

What is Lidar?<\/b><\/h2>

If it helps, try to think of Lidar as radar 2.0 since it\u2019s more accurate and more powerful that its predecessor. <\/span><\/p>

\"Lidar<\/p>

Invented just before the Second World War, Radio Detection and Ranging (radar) is used as a means for determining the direction, speed, and distance of various objects. R<\/span><\/p>

adar devices shoot out a pulse of high-frequency electromagnetic waves. When those waves encounter a solid object, they\u2019re sent back to the source, bringing with them a variety of information about what they\u2019ve run across. Radar is used in air traffic control, flight systems, astronomy, and anti-missile defense systems. Perhaps most commonly, radar is by police forces across the United States to catch speeders.<\/span><\/p>

The problem with radar is that it becomes increasingly unreliable the farther it travels. Over the course of 1,000 feet, for example, radar pulses can actually spread from a concentrated area to a<\/span> divergence of more than 250 feet<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s fine when you\u2019re in a fixed position just waiting for a moving object, but when you\u2019re a moving object and you\u2019re surrounded by myriad other moving and stationary objects, regular radar simply won\u2019t cut the mustard.<\/span><\/p>

Here\u2019s where Lidar comes in.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Lidar, or Light Detection and Ranging, operates on a similar premise as radar. However,<\/span> Lidar takes things a step further<\/span><\/a> by sending out a prearranged series of light pulses at regular intervals. <\/span><\/p>

Just as with radar, these signals return to their source on finding an object with information about the aforementioned object. However, Lidar carries with it two big benefits. First, the information returned with Lidar is far more accurate than radar. The other major difference between Lidar and radar, is that Lidar pulses don\u2019t spread nearly as much radar pulses.<\/span><\/p>

As opposed to radar\u2019s 250-foot spread over a thousand feet, Lidar pulses only disperse about three feet over the course of every thousand feet. <\/span><\/p>

Police officers, for example, are now switching from radar to Lidar because the latter technology is capable of targeting specific vehicles moving in heavy traffic and accurately gauge their speed.<\/span><\/p>

\"Lidar<\/p>

Lidar is Great, But There\u2019s One Big Hurdle<\/b><\/h2>

Most companies at the forefront of automated driving technology are relying on Lidar to reliably steer their self-driving cars.<\/span> According to Fortune<\/span><\/a>, companies like Google are using the innovation,<\/span><\/p>

\u201cwhich fires out a laser light beam around the car to create a high-resolution 3D map of the surrounding environment. That laser map combined with cameras and smart software, is enough information for a car to drive itself on a road without a human driver.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

Lidar is an integral part of the tech powering self-driving vehicles, but its implementation on the road requires interpreting an almost unfathomable amount of information almost instantaneously. <\/span><\/p>

That necessity is fueling another revolution, one that might put silicon out of business. <\/span><\/p>

Though silicon has formed the foundation of the technological revolution that powers the economy, these days it\u2019s just not up to the demands required by some of the high-powered technology coming out of think tanks and technological innovators these days. <\/span><\/p>

Sure, when it comes to booting up your computer and playing the latest video game or watching a high-resolution video on YouTube, silicon is a perfect material to get the job done. The metal is capable of transmitting a lot of electricity without conducting a lot of heat. Unfortunately, silicon has its limits.<\/span><\/p>

When it comes to fully automated vehicles silicon, can\u2019t keep up with the sheer amount of information that Lidar needs to account for in order to aid in steering a self-driving car. Silicon is also too expensive to use on a regular basis. The addition of the substance would effectively make self-driving vehicles a toy exclusively for the rich and powerful.<\/span><\/p>

In order to get Lidar to work on self-driving vehicles, manufacturers are beginning to use transistors and chips from Efficient Power Conversion, a California-based company that uses gallium nitride at the core of their product base. Essentially, this little product with the fancy name can be used in the creation of computer chips that are faster, smaller, and cheaper than silicon chips. <\/span><\/p>

With gallium nitride in the mix, the implications for future technological innovation is staggering. In terms of automated vehicles, gallium nitride transistors and chips are making automated vehicles an increasing likelihood.<\/span><\/p>

New Tech Means Lidar Vehicles are Becoming More Efficient Than Ever<\/b><\/h2>

Thanks to gallium nitride, cars that can utilize Lidar on a truly functional level are almost here. Google has actually been testing vehicles that use Lidar for the past six years. In August of 2016, the tech giant had about 58 of their self-driving vehicles on the road.<\/span><\/p>

\"Lidar<\/p>

Even better, according to Google, the <\/span>vast majority of collisions<\/span><\/a> in which the company\u2019s self-driving cars are involved are a result of being rear-ended, or sideswiped as a result of some piloted vehicle running a red light. In other words, most accidents involving one of Google\u2019s self-driving cars are the fault of a human, not the technology powering the vehicle. <\/span><\/p>

Lidar-powered autonomous vehicles are on the road right now, and thanks to recent advances in technology, they could very well be in the dealership lot in the coming years.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
