Not if they use lasers instead of cameras to read the environment. Plus, lasers work in day/night while cameras and IR will have issues.

- AndrewKemendo 10y agoI can still get great facial recognition data out of LIDAR. In fact I can get just as much data from you with LIDAR as I can an image, because they are precision depth by default. For example I can "bounce" my LIDAR into your bag and see what's inside that might not be visible otherwise. There are a lot of issues with microLIDAR - notwithstanding that it's at least 5 years from commercialization.
- tmikaeld 10y agoI've never heard of LIDAR before, will check it out. Why is it 5 years from commercialization?
- AndrewKemendo 10y ago5 Years is probably generous. 1. They are only now being shown in R&D to be possible to make small enough for consumer devices. How do produce at wide scale is unknown and how they would be implemented in a stack is unknown. 2. It's unclear if the market is there for applications that need LIDAR over more proven IR or cheaper CV techniques. 3. FCC requirements are a pain for active sensors like LIDAR or Ultrasonics on consumer devices
