Autonomous tech developer Mobileye is ending in-house lidar development, citing the decreasing cost of off-the-shelf lidar and prioritizing imaging radar and vision-based sensors.
"Lidar is still seen as a crucial technology for SAE Level 3 cars and SAE Level 4 robotaxis alike, but this doesn't mean it makes sense for all autonomous tech developers to focus most of their time on sensor hardware."
