LiDAR, the laser tech that lets self - driving cars see the world in 3D

@Scivf4 Meanwhile lots of weird hardcore Tesla fanboys hate this tech only because Elon said so... Let that sink in...

@Scivf4 What about this situation? Or anything else that fall on top of it during self-driving?

@Scivf4 LIDAR's like RADAR's emits elecromagnetic waves and listens echos. Now think it like every car have a radio transmitter at the same frequency (IR). It will not work.

@Scivf4 It works until it rains or snows. Lidar is not a good idea for self driving.

@Scivf4 Cool technology, sure. But not critical for self driving technology, as demonstrated by Tesla. Imagine humans needing a 3D “vision” in order to drive cars.

@Scivf4 Tesla cars don't use LIDAR.

@Scivf4 Or use cameras, it's cooler , cheaper, and no beams required😎

@Scivf4 Until it rains

@Scivf4 It'd be cool to "Being John Malkovich" yourself into a self-driving car's perspective.

@Scivf4 unless there are big enough particles between the lidar and the object it wants to locate...

@Scivf4 Works great.. until there's heavy rain that is, then it stops working as well

@Scivf4 Can lidar tell what colour a traffic light is? No. No it can’t.

@Scivf4 What happens if it’s raining or snowing?

@Scivf4 Bat's technology

@Scivf4 it's crazy that humans can drive only with a pair of cameras

@Scivf4 Yet Elon Musk has consistently argued the opposite of that tweet's claim.

@Scivf4 LIDAR is not the future

Free Cone Day is here! Come celebrate with us at a DQ location on today by getting a FREE small vanilla cone 🍦

@Scivf4 incredible

@Scivf4 "Was"

@Scivf4 Líder the láser tech that destroys cameras

@Scivf4 owe my fucking eyes

@Scivf4 Wow, that's incredibly clever! Essential for truly seeing the road. 🤯🚗
