One of the challenges now facing the conglomerate\u2019s leadership is to get to grips with autonomous vehicles. GS is especially interested in understanding their value in supply chain operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silicon Valley proved to be a rich source of information and inspiration. The executives\u2019 tour shed light on a number of fast-developing areas in the world of high-tech transport and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s often described as one of the most important components of autonomous vehicles: lidar \u2013 also known as laser vision \u2013 maps the world in three dimensions. The technology is a close cousin to radar. But where the latter emits radio waves to measure distances, lidar relies on lasers invisible to the human eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of the technology is Velodyne. For more than a decade the company has been refining its lidar offerings. Today its users include well-known names like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But as the GS executives discovered during a meeting at Velodyne\u2019s San Jose offices, autonomous cars are just part of the story. Lidar also has applications in drone-based aerial data collection, industrial vehicle navigation and three-dimensional mobile mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Velodyne is not alone in what is an increasingly crowded laser vision market. Competitors include the Silicon Valley-based Luminar and Israeli startup Innoviz. Both say they are set to manufacture and ship thousands of lidar units this year. Both believe their products offer significant advantages over those currently available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But while lidar may be gradually moving the world closer to truly driverless cars, for now it appears to be most applicable to industry. That\u2019s down to the relatively high cost of the technology, something which has prevented it from becoming more deeply integrated into mainstream automobile manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more, lidar still needs to get more sophisticated.
