LiDAR has emerged as one of the most dynamic and consequential technologies in the autonomous driving perception stack, valued for its depth perception and redundancy capabilities, yet also prompting important questions about cost, scalability, and its long-term role as autonomy advances.

Building on the themes explored in our technology insight, this follow-up live roundtable brings together three subject-matter experts to examine where LiDAR adds the most value, where its limitations remain, and how its role may change as autonomy advances.

The session will address:

  • How well LiDAR is delivering on its promise of superior depth perception in real-world ADAS and autonomous driving deployments
  • Which barriers to wider adoption – from cost and scalability to integration complexity and environmental limitations – are the most critical to overcome first
  • Which advances in LiDAR design, manufacturing, and sensor-fusion integration show the most promise
  • Whether LiDAR’s role in the autonomous sensor stack is expanding beyond its traditional strengths
  • Whether LiDAR will ultimately remain a complementary sensor or become a central pillar of the perception stack on the path to scalable Level 4+ autonomy
