Mark’s very fun, if not entirely truthful video:
Can You Fool A Self Driving Car? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ
"Ok. I have to amend my earlier statement. Actual shade to Mark Rober. Which, as a fan of his, makes me sad. While his video is still a very entertaining (albeit misinformative) piece of YouTube content, his failure to disclose the full nature of his relationship with Luminar Tech in the video is fishy, & IMO unethical." Hans C. Nelson

"No shade to Mark Rober. This is a GREAT YouTube video. And in this case, it’s a DEADLY example of a real world mistake that is costing thousands of lives every year." Hans C. Nelson

Mobileye announces plans to end frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar development, calling it "less essential," while prioritizing imaging radar and vision-based sensors, even though lidar is still viewed as critical by robotaxi developers and operators.

Bosch, the leader of global Tier 1 automotive suppliers, recently announced that it would withdraw from the development of laser radar sensors for high-end autonomous vehicle and reallocate its resources to millimeter wave radar and other sensing technologies. Among the top ten German companies globally, Continental is the last to hold a lidar and held a joint exhibition with AEye at the 2023 IAA Mobility exhibition. In the past year, there have been rumors that Continental is considering shifting its focus to the more profitable tire and plastic business, and may spin off its automotive parts business.

Xpeng’s new Eagle Eye system represents a significant leap forward in computer vision technology. By leveraging high-resolution cameras and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, the company claims that its system can match or even surpass the performance of traditional LiDAR-based setups.

It is not recommended to use LiDAR in rainy or foggy weather. In contact with water, light deviates and so does the laser of a LiDAR system, thus impacting data quality. The main optical process occurring with fog is diffusion as for rain it is dispersion.
