“Lidar-based smart city and automated vehicle safety solutions
can help save lives, improve mobility and promote sustainability.
The panel discussion will share insights on how companies and
government organizations are using lidar sensors to enable a new
generation of intelligent infrastructure and deployment of
autonomous vehicles,” said Ford.
“Webinar attendees can hear from the expert panel how Velodyne’s
sensors are used today to advance pedestrian and vehicle safety on
the roadways, and improve mobility and efficiency in our
