> For bright reflective objects like traffic cones or road signs, the system is able to provide information in under a minute. A minute.. Even if they could bring that down to 1ms, the main point still stands that Lidar can't read signs. And you'll need the tech in the car to read that stop-sign at high speed. Also the position of the stop-sign in relation to the streets is super important, so the software of positioning is also 100% required. So the main point still stands, if you're going to need that tech, why do you need the Lidar, since you'll need to stop the car the moment the cams fail to work. As a side note: I also I wonder if it would still work if every car at a crossing would have this tech (in a fog), how would the cars know that the laser light was coming from their car, and not form any of the other cars? Would have to morse-code an ID in there or something perhaps. Second side note: It's a tech discussion, it sometimes seems people bring personal views about Elon Musk and Tesla into these discussions. I think this clouds the judgement.
