Which is better for Autonomous vehicle: LiDAR or Radar?
Comparing LiDAR and Radar in the context of self-driving cars, it can be noted that each of the options has its pros and cons, and, thus, the question of which of them is superior depends on the context, price factor, as well as the conditions in which the auto-mobile will have to function. Here’s a comparison of LiDAR and Radar based on key factors relevant to autonomous vehicles: 1. Accuracy and Resolution: LiDAR: Radar: 2. Weather and Environmental Conditions: LiDAR: Radar: 3. Cost: LiDAR: Radar: 4. Range: LiDAR: Radar: 5. Object Classification: LiDAR: Radar: 6. Real-Time Processing: LiDAR: Radar: 7. Safety and Redundancy: LiDAR: Radar: Conclusion: Which is better? LiDAR is better when the fine mapping of an area is required, or when the detection of objects in detail is necessary, in the conditions where usage of LiDAR is not hindered, such as using in urban areas with good weather conditions. This type is more accurate and is very essential in the systems that require the determination of the precise shape and location of objects. Radar works better at higher power, for fixed all weather applications, long range and applications that are not highly sensitive to cost. It is especially useful in measuring speed and movement and especially during conditions of low light or even when the car is traveling at high rates. The Future: Nowadays, the many Autonomous Vehicle makers are integrating LiDAR, Radar, and Cameras so that every type of system can provide its strengths to build robust AVs. This approach improves safety, augments the number of sensors and the overall perception which enablers the self-driving car to drive in various terrains and climate.
