Several major car manufacturers publicly announced plans to integrate LiDAR systems in future models due to their unmatched ability to create a 3D map of their environment. The reliability and performance of the LiDAR is crucial to ensure safe autonomous driving. Specialized humidity sensors help ensuring that LiDAR systems are protected from water and humidity ingress. Monitoring water ingress in real time enables immediate actions such as smart degradation, timely maintenance, or the initiation of emergency stop protocols.

Ensure safety-integrity and performance of LiDAR systems by detecting water and humidity ingress.
How our sensors make a difference
Ensure LiDAR performance and safety integrity
Water and humidity can enter the LiDAR enclosure through defective sealings and connectors. This threatens optical performance and poses a risk of corrosion of the electronics. Constant monitoring of water ingress and humidity is therefore crucial for passenger safety.
Compliance with regulations
Given the UNECE regulatory framework, manufacturers must prove that their LiDAR system is completely reliable under all conditions and protected by fail-safe mechanisms. Our sensors allow you to comply with these regulations as they accurately monitor water ingress and humidity in every environment.
Meet vehicle manufacturer requirements
With the surge in autonomous vehicles and impending regulations, OEMs must take on more liability. This emphasizes the necessity for real-time water ingress detection mechanisms to ensure system reliability and compliance.
