Is 360 degree lidar really needed? A smaller FOV and higher resolution for 120-180 degrees pointed forward seems a better bet.

- milesokeefe 9y agoIt’s not mutually exclusive either. You can have lower frequency, lower angular res 360 spinning LIDAR for low granularity general perception, and also have much higher frequency, brighter, and lower FOV (~90-120deg) solid state lidar mounted at the very least on the front corners of the car. We should be absolutely littering these vehicles with sensors, there’s no reason to be conservative at this stage.
