    Leaning into Lidar

    September 16, 2024

    What Swarnav Banik’s does might just be the future of transportation. Since 2022, he’s been working on sensing technology for the next generation of autonomous vehicles. In his work, Banik develops next-generation sensors that use lidar—light detection and ranging—technology to help autonomous vehicles “see” objects on the road ahead and safely avoid them. He first worked as a senior photonics engineer at Aurora Innovation, a company that’s developing self-driving systems for semitrucks and other commercial vehicles; now he’s at Aeva, a Silicon Valley firm developing sensing and perception tools for driverless cars and industrial automation.
