LiDAR Sensing was often criticized for not working in rain or snow. Now I see that Draper Apollo has announced that they have a Lidar that solves this. Progress continues.
New LiDAR Detector Enables Self-Driving Cars to See in Sun, Rain, Fog and Snow
CAMBRIDGE, MA—As vision technologies improve and automakers begin testing and integrating the new technologies into their cars, self-driving cars are poised to see the road around them better. Draper recently tested its Hemera LiDAR detector and set a new performance standard for being able to see more objects in all weather conditions.
LiDAR detectors tend to go blind when they encounter too much light or too many obscurants, like rain, snow and fog. Draper’s Hemera advances the science by fusing technologies from biomedicine, optics and signal processing with advanced technologies, such as silicon photonics and proprietary algorithms, to produce an architecture that’s designed to enhance commercially available LiDARs. ....
