With the Velarray H800, Velodyne delivers the optimal solid state lidar sensor for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous applications. The H800’s long-range combined with a wide horizontal field of view (FOV) detects objects early enough to enable safe stopping distances in urban driving scenarios and collision avoidance on curves and turns.
The Velarray H800’s excellent vertical FOV provides superior detection of near-range small and overhead objects while covering sloping road corner cases. The H800’s range enables advanced highway ADAS features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking.
With a configurable frame rate, the H800 offers outstanding point cloud density for high-resolution mapping and object classification tasks.

Micro Lidar Array (MLA) features Velodyne’s groundbreaking optical chip technology, with 8 lidar channels miniaturized to the size of a penny, that forms the “engine” of the lidar sensor. The MLA brings together the core elements that make lidar work: the optical chip and Velodyne’s ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) technology. The miniaturization combined with Velodyne’s proprietary, fully automated manufacturing process enables cost-effective, high-quality mass production.
Velodyne sensors consume less power than other lidar sensors in their class, extending system operation range and reducing heat load. This power efficiency bolsters sustainability across a wide array of applications.
