Solid State vs. Mechanical LiDAR

Headlight-Integrated LiDAR


• Developed with Koito, largest global maker of automotive headlights, first automotive headlight with built-in LiDAR sensors

• Each headlight incorporates two S3 solid state LiDARs that sense forward and to the side

• The headlight protects the sensors from dust, dirt and water, and lens washers ensure an unobstructed view for the sensors
