OpSys Tech Readies
New Solid-state Lidar
for 2023
by Paul Seredynski
Born from smartphone VCSEL technology, the Scanning Microflash
Lidar aims for a market price of less than $200 per module.
It is widely believed that autonomous vehicles
(AVs) will need lidar, in combination with radar and
cameras, to safely reach higher levels of automation.
Radar, on its own, lacks the required resolution for
object recognition. And while stereo camera systems
can provide AI-assisted recognition and depth data,
their performance is affected by lighting conditions.
Only lidar generates its own light while providing
depth-mapped resolutions - leaving cost as lidar's
only real drawback, even as more flash-based solidstate
options become available. The industry's efforts
to reduce per-unit cost are progressing slowly.
Opsys Tech, a company based in Holon, Israel,
claims to have developed a new category of lidar for AVs,
a 100% solid-state design it calls Scanning Microflash
Lidar (SML). According to OpSys, SML incorporates
OpSys Tech recently demoed its prototype low-cost, solid-state lidar modules, capturing a view of a Ford Model T pickup
being towed by a modern pickup truck.
