Kyocera Corporation is presenting the development of its unique Camera-LIDAR Fusion Sensor, the world’s first*1 LIDAR that aligns the optical axes of the camera and LIDAR into a single sensor. This unique design allows for the real-time acquisition of parallax-free superimposed data, a feat that was previously unattainable. It also features the world’s highest*2 laser irradiation density as a LIDAR sensor, enabling long-distance and high-precision object detection.

LIDAR is expected to be essential to the commercialization of autonomous driving. It…
