FMCW As The End State: Exploring Advantages of Instantaneous Velocity

Next-generation Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave LiDAR systems can detect and track objects farther, faster, and with greater precision than ever before. Aeva’s FMCW LiDAR-on-chip system adds doppler velocity to the standard range, azimuth, elevation, and reflectivity channels generated by traditional 3D LiDAR systems. This session will explore the unique perception capabilities enabled by the velocity channel, how they deliver improved safety and reliability to vehicle automation, and why FMCW-based systems are the end state for high performance automotive LiDAR.
