Abstract
Automotive LiDAR sensors are seen by many as the enabling technology for higher-level autonomous driving functionalities. Different concepts to design such a sensor can be found in the industry. Some have already been integrated into consumer cars while many others promise to be in mass production soon to become cost-effective enough for broad deployment. However, automotive LiDAR sensors are still evolving and a variety of sensor designs are pursued by different companies. Here, we construct the automotive LiDAR design space to visually depict system design options for these sensors. Subsequently, we exemplify the concepts with drawings that can be found in published patent applications (focusing on scanning mechanisms and scan patterns) before discussing their advantages and challenges.
