Workshop description
FMCW LiDAR as a potentially better solution for autonomous driving at different levels is being pursued by many companies in the industry. As LiDAR solutions based on TOF technologies have been deployed in volume in recent years, it seems to be more challenging to replace or compete with the incumbent products. At this exclusive workshop, PSC invited representatives from renowned players of FMCW LiDAR and a well-established wind sensing company to share their insights on its opportunities and the future. With a captivating Q&A session at the end of the workshop, we hope to provide a better understanding of the playing field and clarify some of the myths about FMCW LiDAR in the community.
