Velodyne Lidar Sensors Power Emesent’s Hovermap to Fly Beyond the Visual Line of Sight
July 31, 2020
Velodyne Lidar, Inc. today announced that Emesent’s newly introduced Autonomy Level 2 (AL2) technology for Hovermap uses Velodyne lidar sensors to provide real-time perception and high-quality, accurate 3D data.
