Introducing the Voyage G2 Autonomous Vehicle

news.voyage.auto

We pride ourselves at Voyage on being open about our technology and process. This post reads a little like a press release, but I'd love to answer any candid questions about Voyage or the autonomous vehicle field. I'll be here all afternoon!

To start, I wanted to share more about the Velodyne VLS-128 LIDAR. As far as I'm aware, this is the first 128-channel LIDAR on the market, and it really is nuts.

• 9.6M points per second

• ~300 meters of range

• 360° coverage

Long-range and high-resolution LIDAR has historically been a unique advantage for Waymo, and my feeling is that the VLS-128 dramatically closes the gap for the rest of the field to have the same quality of vision.
