Experts Reveal Autonomous Vehicles Radar Beats LIDAR at Night
Radar hardware now detects objects up to 140 meters at night, outpacing lidar’s typical 90-meter limit. In Waymo’s 2025 nighttime trials the expanded range translated into fewer false alerts and smoother lane changes, confirming radar’s growing role in low-light perception.
