- LAS VEGAS: The same technology used in self-driving cars is being touted as a potential high-tech solution to the US border wall conundrum — with some added benefits.
- At least one startup at the Consumer Electronics show is showcasing how Lidar, a laser-based detection system widely used in autonomous vehicles, could be deployed along the US-Mexico border at a far lower cost than a physical wall or fence, and with fewer environmental impacts.
- Quanergy Systems, among a handful of tech firms working on Lidar border security, is showing to CES attendees its technology being deployed in pilot projects on the India-Pakistan frontier as well as a small section of the southern US border.
- An electronic solution offers additional benefits, according to Quanergy, including for the environment and in operating costs.
