Google driverless car equipped with light mine sensor
Recently, driverless driving is also taking advantage of CES 2016 to make a big splash. According to the latest monthly report on driverless driving released by Google, they will install light mine sensors on driverless test vehicles, which can enable cars to recognize real-time weather conditions to adjust the best speed.
Google also mentioned in its monthly report that in order to test the light and thunder sensors, they are collecting all kinds of weather data. Google hopes that even in severe weather such as heavy snow, hail and thunderstorm, driverless cars can cope with it, rather than simply stop.
It is known that the light mine sensor is expensive. At present, Google is developing its own light mine sensor, but the current light mine sensor still uses Velodyne. The sensor is expensive, and the cheapest one costs 8000 dollars.
