Abstract

A lidar sensing system for a vehicle includes a sensor module having a laser unit, a sensor unit, and a cover unit. The laser unit includes a housing with reference surfaces machined thereat for positioning laser tubes. The laser unit includes a tension spring that urges the laser tubes against the reference surfaces of the housing. The sensor unit includes a holder with reference surfaces machined thereat for positioning receiver tubes. The sensor unit includes a tension spring that urges the receiver tubes against the reference surfaces of the holder. The holder is attached at the housing and the cover unit is attached at the housing. An output of the sensor module is communicated to a control that, responsive to the output of the sensor module, determines the presence of one or more objects exterior the vehicle and within the field of sensing of the sensor module.
