Bad weather still the main issue for driverless-tech sensors?

Sensing technology is the powerful tool that gives vision to next-generation automobiles. Equipped with a device array anchored by LiDAR and video cameras, the average advanced vehicle of today “sees” and “feels” the road and surrounding topography more clearly than its predecessors ever could. However, there is one major problem with these devices – like […]
