lidar

I am a fan of and impressed with autopilot. It’s a great addition to my commute. It’s also the only system I’ve used that is beyond basic cruise control. I’m always impressed and sometimes amused by the images of other cars (and cans/cones) on the screen. This morning it decided a trailer spool...

If Elon is right, and Waymo (et al) scraps Lidar at some point after they realize it's too expensive, etc... What happens then? Do they write-off all that Cap-ex that went into Lidar? Do they start from the ground up with Vision? Do they call it quits? Do they try to acquire Tesla for autonomy...

Saw an article yesterday on Gizmodo about whether Cornell University’s study on using two stereo cameras up front on the windshield was a better idea and less expensive one than using a LiDAR system and whether this showed that Tesla was correct in its approach (although not much on this...

This sounds very promising MIT and DARPA Pack Lidar Sensor onto Single Chip Another solid state device, which apparently should be available soon: Quanergy Announces $250 Solid-State LIDAR for Cars, Robots, and More

Saw this in the news today. Autopilot in the Tesla shouldn't be effected by this specifically since it is using cameras instead of these Lidar sensors but still worth noting when thinking of all the things Tesla needs to be considering before releasing auto pilot to the world. Self-driving cars...
