It has become widely accepted that LiDAR sensors will be an indispensable part of a sensor suite that will enable vehicular autonomy in the future. However, sensor costs remain very high and prevent the ubiquitous adoption of LiDAR sensors.

Bringing knowledge and expertise in Cost-Engineering and Design for Manufacturing from the HDD space into the LiDAR space can accelerate the large-scale deployment of LiDAR sensors.
In this talk, some of the key manufacturing technologies will be highlighted.
