Abstract
An autonomous vehicle control system may include one or more processors configured to receive an electrical signal generated based on a returned optical signal that is reflected from an object. The one or more processors may determine a Doppler frequency shift of the returned optical signal over a first duration of the electrical signal. The one or more processors may generate a corrected electrical signal based on the Doppler frequency shift. The one or more processors may determine a range to the object based on the corrected electrical signal over a second duration that is shorter than the first duration. The one or more processors may control at least one of a steering system or a braking system based on the range.
