One thing to remember here is that with RADAR it is, I have read, very hard to tell a soda can from a car from a above highway sign as you are cresting a hill.

One thing to remember here is that with RADAR it is, I have read, very hard to tell a soda can from a car from a above highway sign as you are cresting a hill. So they will often filter out anything that is stopped.
I read this a few months ago and it blew my mind.
Then I read about that LIDAR sensor burning a camera sensor and thought "how safe can that be?!?"

- linsomniac 8y agoDon't need to read about it. Last year I was on a 2400 mile trip. On a long, deserted stretch of road, suddenly, out of nowhere my Tesla slammed on the brakes. I had to throw away my underwear. :-)
- imtringued 8y agoThat LIDAR sensor you talk about destroyed camera sensors precisely because it is safe for human eyes. Conventional lidar uses wavelenghts that can harm human eyes but the power output is restricted to a much lower value to prevent damage to humans and cameras.
