Minimum range 0. Maximum range?
- verdverm 6y ago500 meters or greater most likely, based on what Waymo equipped vehicle specs say
- coder543 6y agoVelodyne LiDAR sensors are 200m or less, it seems, so I highly doubt Waymo has a 500m sensor in this form factor. Glancing at articles from when this Waymo product was originally announced a couple of years ago, I saw some equally unhelpful speculation of “no more than 50 feet.” If it was 500 meters, surely they would say, because that would be really good.
- verdverm 6y agoTheir forward facing on vehicle 5th gen claim is 500m, from about 1 year ago. The lack of number on the webpage does leave one to speculate based on other sources...

- fastball 6y agoYep but the forward facing on Waymo vehicles is not the Laser Bear Honeycomb.

- porphyra 6y agoThe ones for sale are the small perimeter lidars that have very short range, not the 300 m unit.
- porphyra 6y agoThe big Waymo lidar on top of the cars, which is not for sale, can hit 300 m range. The small Laser Bear Honeycombs around the periphery can only see about 10 m.
