Lidar sensors use laser light pulses to render precise images of the environment around the car, and are seen as essential by many automakers to enable higher levels of driver assistance right up to making them capable of self-driving. The two companies are also exploring how lidar can help improve future advanced driver assistance systems , with the potential for equipping all future SPA2-based cars with a lidar sensor as standard.
