Abstract

Automotive lidar is rapidly becoming a mainstream enabling technology for object detection and localization in advanced driver assistance systems and automated vehicles like robotaxis. In response to this demand, lidar characterization standards and specifications are being developed, with DIN SAE specification 91471 as one of the first published efforts. A core purpose of this presentation is to compare the recommendations in specification 91471 to what automotive lidar manufacturers are publishing and to discuss the differences. We will also make a case for employing component specifications like these in the context of vehicle and perception system level goals.
