Abstract
To provide a laser distance measuring apparatus which determines whether the moving body stops autonomously, without depending on the external environment information transmitted from the external apparatuses, and can lower the average power of the laser beam. A laser distance measuring apparatus compares light receiving signals detected at two time points at the same irradiation angle, determines whether the moving body stops, and when it is determined that the moving body stops, makes an average power per unit area and unit time of the laser beam emitted lower than that of when it is determined that the moving body does not stop.
