Lidar Is So Cheap It Could Make Self-Driving a Reality
- smoorman1024 7y agoI would be very interested to know what innovation allows them produce Lidar at this price point.

- milesokeefe 7y agoIt's solid state LIDAR. Doesn't require the massive mechanical precision that spinning LIDAR needs.
- hadlock 7y agoSolid state LIDAR actually coming to market is perhaps the bigger story here. A quick look, there are a couple of companies trying to bring this to market, but this is the first off the shelf solid state LIDAR. That's a really big deal. It also means that 4th gen LIDAR should be even cheaper and more performant.
- devtul 7y agoFor people more knowledgeable than me on this, I wonder what a low price point changes, since Elon Musk called lidar "expensive appendix". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w1G2GyPTUM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w1G2GyPTUM
