The latest prototype lidar system from Analog Photonics shows off its capabilities at a busy intersection in Boston. We and others at our company, Analog Photonics , which spun out of MIT in 2016, hope to break this impasse. We are developing a tiny, chip-scale phased-array lidar that promises to slash costs and simplify integration.
