Interview: Anand Gopalan, Chief Technology Officer, Velodyne LiDAR

Michael Nash talks to Anand Gopalan about new LiDAR technology that could greatly enhance safety and enable autonomous driving

An array of cameras and sensors will also be needed on cars to ensure they can operate autonomously. Early demonstrations of highly autonomous driving from OEMs such as Tesla have shown that it may be possible to use cameras and radars to achieve autonomous driving. However, some experts are convinced that LiDAR will play a crucial role.
