  • Front and side three-LIDAR design for autonomous driving vehicles
    Patent number: 11231501
    Abstract: An ADV includes a vehicle frame housing the ADV, a first LIDAR, a second LIDAR, a third LIDAR devices, and an autonomous driving system responsible for autonomously driving the ADV. The first LIDAR device is mounted on a frontend of the vehicle frame. The second LIDAR device is mounted on a first side (e.g., left side) of the vehicle frame and the third LIDAR device is mounted on a second side (e.g., right side) of the vehicle frame. The autonomous driving system includes a perception module and a planning module. The perception module is configured to perceive a driving environment surrounding the ADV at least based on LIDAR data obtained from the first, second, and third LIDAR devices. The planning module is configured to plan a path to drive the ADV based on perception data from the perception module representing the driving environment. The ADV may be an autonomous driving bus.
