Abstract:
A laser radar device includes a laser radar optical system that emits laser light and receives reflected light of the laser light reflected from a reflector disposed outside the laser radar device. A controller determines that it is rainy weather when a measurement width of the reflector in a scanning direction of the laser light measured by use of the laser light and the reflected light is larger than a predetermined reference measurement width of the reflector.
