Which sensor technology is essential for autonomous vehicles to detect objects and measure distances?

  1. GPS
  2. LIDAR
  3. Microphone
  4. Temperature Sensor

Answer: LIDAR

LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to create high-resolution 3D maps of surroundings, enabling object detection, classification, and distance measurement. Combined with cameras, radar, and GPS for robust perception. Critical for self-driving cars, drones, and mobile robots. Important for autonomous systems questions.
