In an effort to prevent crashes, Teledyne FLIR is working on thermal sensing technology to work alongside other sensors in self-driving cars
On the pathway to fully autonomous vehicles, tech companies are working to develop advanced driver assistance systems that enhance an autonomous system's ability to detect and avoid collisions.
LiDAR sensors determine how far away an object is by measuring how long it takes for the reflected light from its laser to come back to the sensor. Radar sensors detect that distance with radio waves., Chris Posch, Teledyne FLIR's automotive engineering director, says that including thermal imaging in a car's suite of ADAS technology is a way to boost safety capabilities in these conditions.
Thermal cameras usually detect heat to the degree of 50 millikelvins or better, a measurement that translates to 0.1 degrees of temperature difference.13 New Electric Cars, Trucks and SUVs Coming to the US in 2022 The use of thermal sensors in testing and production in the automotive industry is growing. Self-driving startups like Waymo and Zoox are incorporating thermal sensors into their trials. New Cadillac Escalades are outfitted with thermal sensors.
