Velodyne LiDAR
Speed. Vision. Precision. This is Velodyne.
Providing smart, powerful lidar solutions for autonomous vehicles, driver assistance, delivery solutions, robotics, industrial, infrastructure, navigation, mapping, and more.
Velodyne Surround Sensors
Empowering 360° vision for the autonomous future
Open up a world of endless possibilities with Velodyne’s range of 360° LiDAR, helping you see further in challenging weather and lighting conditions for greater safety and reliability.
‘Surround’ LiDAR has a 360° field of view, enabling the real-time 3-dimensional mapping of the spatial environment on all sides of the sensor. This furthers what is possible within the fields of vehicle automation and digital mapping. What could take a number of solid-state LiDAR units to achieve can be achieved with a single surround sensor.
