Global Automotive LiDAR Market – Overview
Automotive LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a term used to describe a technology that allows cars to see and understand their environment. It makes accurate three-dimensional maps of the surroundings using lasers to measure distances. Automotive LiDAR systems use laser pulses to calculate distances and build precise point cloud representations of their surroundings. They then time how long it takes for the light to reflect. Automotive LiDAR plays a critical role in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving applications by delivering precise and real-time data on the vehicle's surroundings, improving safety, and enabling better navigation and decision-making by the vehicle.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Automotive LiDAR Market
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global automotive LiDAR market. As the automotive industry faced disruptions in production and supply chains, the demand for LiDAR technology was affected. The market experienced a slowdown due to temporary factory closures, reduced consumer spending, and supply chain constraints. The pandemic also led to a shift in consumer preferences, with a greater focus on essential needs rather than luxury items like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on LiDAR. However, as the industry recovers and economies reopen, the automotive LiDAR market is expected to regain momentum, driven by the increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles and the growing emphasis on road safety.
