According to Frost & Sullivan, the market size of lidar will grow rapidly from $680 million in 2019 to $13.54 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 64.5%. With lidar starting mass production, automakers have been paying more attention to data privacy and information security. Establishing a reliable information security system is not only a compliance requirement but also an essential commitment to the customers.
