One of the goals of the automobile manufacturers is the implementation of so-called "autonomous driving". In addition to short-range, mid-range and long-range radar, cameras, infrared and ultrasonic sensors, LIDAR technology will also be used in modern vehicles in the future. The name stands for "Light Detection and Ranging" and reveals what this technology can do: Optical detection of the surroundings and the ability to correctly assess all movements, including distances to other road users.
