The godfather of laser sensors for self-driving cars is looking for near-term revenue opportunities to apply lidar tech to automotive safety suites

The company, which has supplied lidars to almost every self-driving car program at some point since 2007, has shipped 30,000 of the laser sensors since it started making them, generating cumulative sales of $500 million, CEO and founder Hall told. Velodyne continues to expand sensor production for self-driving fleets, but there’s demand for shorter-range units for ADAS safety tech, monitoring road conditions, blind spots and objects in a driver's path.
Velodyne’s “nice stuff” includes a top-of-the-range spinning lidar with 128 individual laser beams that sees up to 300 meters ahead. Hall believes it generates the most detailed images of any product on the market. Each one also costs thousands of dollars and isn’t yet widely available.
