Autonomous driving requires an array of sensors to perceive the surrounding environment and monitor the driver’s condition, thereby controlling the vehicle’s movements. Automotive sensing cameras are indispensable in autonomous driving, detecting vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs, and more through digital image data and ensuring precise vehicle control. However, these cameras are limited to detecting objects that can be captured visually, posing challenges in adverse weather conditions or when visibility is compromised by direct light. In such scenarios, LiDAR technology becomes crucial, as it measures distances by analyzing the disturbance and reflection of laser irradiation.

TAMRON is at the forefront of developing and manufacturing lenses for both LiDAR and sensing cameras, enhancing the efficacy and reliability of autonomous driving systems.
