Lumotive Says It Has a Practical Solid-State Lidar
Continental, the big European auto parts company, has a practical solid state LIDAR.[1] It&#x27;s the Advanced Scientific Concepts flash LIDAR technology, which works well but cost too much when ASC was making it by hand in Santa Barbara, CA. What they don&#x27;t have is a car company ready to buy enough units to make volume production worthwhile. In the meantime, they&#x27;re selling a few units to commercial drone operators.[2]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.continental-automotive.com&#x2F;en-gl&#x2F;Passenger-Cars&#x2F;Chassis-Safety&#x2F;Advanced-Driver-Assistance-Systems&#x2F;Lidars&#x2F;High-Resolution-3D-Flash-Lidar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.continental-automotive.com&#x2F;en-gl&#x2F;Passenger-Cars&#x2F;...</a>
