From the desk of the AES editor's: It's always a strange feeling to live through history ... so try to remember,
this too shall pass.
And please, "shelter-in-place."

Special report:
The State of Autonomous Driving The autonomous car revolution stalled in part because technology designers could not determine if Radar, LiDAR, or cameras was the better visual-sensor systems. It appears that the best solution is an integrated subsystem of all three solutions. |

- Camera: Cameras are a widely understood, mature technology. They are also reliable and relatively cheap to produce. Vehicle applications that commonly rely on cameras today include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), surround view systems (SVS) and driver monitoring systems (DMS). Coupled with infra-red lighting, they can perform to some extent at night. But they have some significant limitations too. In fact, cameras face many of the same limitations as the human eye. They need a clear lens to see properly, limiting where car makers can position them, and they don’t always give a crisp or reliable picture in bad weather – particularly in heavy rain or snow. Moreover, cameras require significantly more computing power, which also requires a lot more energy.

- RADAR: One of the main benefits of RADAR is that it uses radio waves instead of lasers to sense objects. This gives radar the ability to measure velocities of surrounding objects directly, offering a critical advantage in an environment in which an infinite number of variables could all be moving at different relative speeds.
