KVH’s extremely small, high-precision fiber optic gyro (FOG) is key to a driverless car’s performance. In this photo, the red illumination represents light moving through the FOG’s optical circuit of coiled fiber; this circuit is the FOG’s sensing unit—it is mounted with power and processing electronics within a driverless car to provide precise data for the car’s navigation systems. The quarter indicates the sensor’s relative size.
