Vehicles
LiDAR has been used to create Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems for automobiles. Systems such as those by Siemens and Hella use a LiDAR device mounted in the front of the vehicle to monitor the distance between the vehicle and any vehicle in front of it. Often, the lasers are placed onto the bumper. In the event that the vehicle in front slows down or is too close, the ACC applies the brakes to slow or stop the vehicle. When the road ahead is clear, the ACC allows the vehicle to speed up to speed preset by the driver.
