Cey wecou: Lidar is configurable to lia herson, you're asking about the base line and where we would set up our cameras. The problem is that on on a winding road, the radar can't see lane lines. And so from the radar's perspective, this car is indistinguishable from one that's just cutting in and out in front of you,. But even if you don't have a pre built map, if you're approaching a steep curve in the road, if you know the geometry of the road ahead, you can properly slow down to engage in the curve and speed up on the way out of it.
The asinine "camera vs lidar" debates are blown apart into several, far more interesting pieces in this week's episode, as the gang is joined by longtime friend of the show Tarani Duncan and Jason Devitt, co-founder and CEO of Compound Eye. Discussion covers the multiple approaches to camera-based depth perception, the evolutionary vs ground-up approaches to autonomous vehicles, and a little lidar shade as a treat.
