1. A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system, comprising:

  • a modulator configured to generate a transmit signal using a laser source;

    one or more scanning optics configured to output the transmit signal; and

    one or more processors configured to;

    determine a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud corresponding to a return signal received responsive to the transmit signal;

    determine an object velocity of an object relative to the sensor using the 3D point cloud;

    determine a vehicle velocity of an autonomous vehicle coupled to the sensor using the object velocity of the object; and

    control operation of the autonomous vehicle using the vehicle velocity of the autonomous vehicle.
