YOKOHAMA, Japan—Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. said on May 16 it would, for now, stick to self-driving technology which uses radar sensors and cameras, avoiding lidar or light-based sensors because of their high cost and limited capabilities.
The Japanese automaker unveiled updated self-driving technology a month after Tesla Inc.’s Chief Executive Elon Musk called lidar “a fool’s errand”, berating the technology for being expensive and unnecessary.
