Sensor fusion

Sensor fusion is combining of sensory data or data derived from disparate sources such that the resulting information has less uncertainty than would be possible when these sources were used individually.

In self-driving domain sensor fusion is the combination of LiDAR, radars, cameras and other sensors and autonomous driving applications which, when smartly bundled and set up, give autonomous vehicles an all-encompassing and thorough 360-degree view of the environment.
