The gorgeous 2024 Volvo EX90 made its official debut earlier this week. The all-electric SUV may seem to be any other SUV with Thor’s Hammer in its headlights (although somewhat smoothed down for the electric era), but what really distinguishes it is a small roof-mounted lidar device.
Volvo’s fast implementation of lidar in the EX90 makes it one of the market’s first mass-production cars with such a technology. The high-definition image sensor is not only an important aspect of Volvo’s safety strategy, but it is also the secret sauce behind the company’s promise of vehicle autonomy, which the EX90 is “hardware capable” of attaining.
