I doubt there is any hot technology in some LIDAR interface board in the first place.

I doubt there is any hot technology in some LIDAR interface board in the first place.
- Animats 10y agoThere's a lot to be done at the semiconductor level for solid state LIDAR. The ASC units work great, but the sensor requires an InGaAs fab, like night vision sensors, to get good light sensitivity and thus range. Others are talking about getting good performance with a sensor that can be made in a CMOS fab, but nobody is shipping yet. This is an area where Waymo has a strong interest, even if they're not making the sensors themselves.

- MertsA 10y agoThe board isn't the interesting bit, the board just shows that Otto was using Waymo's design. This also isn't what they're suing over, this was just the tip off they needed to figure out that the ex-employee stole data on the way out the door.
