I always wonder if this is the economy of scale or they sell these at a loss. I think just buying off-the-shelf bldc controllers would cost me more than $1600.

- thebruce87m 3y agoI’m always looking at products coming out of China to see if they would benefit the Chinese government in some way. Selling items at a loss wouldn’t matter to them if the data received is worth more. This product is constantly scanning LiDAR data, would crowd sourced LiDAR data benefit them in some way? Constantly-on roaming camera and microphone to supplement the HikVision Camera spy network? Mobile Bluetooth scanner for airtag-like target tracking? Maybe I’m just paranoid but that’s always my thought process.

For instance: I think we might worse off to address climate change thougt the usa-provided glasses of capitalism.
- lsaferite 3y agoThe data stream for that would be staggering.
- thebruce87m 3y agoSure, we’re technical so we know some limitations. But I’m sure you know I don’t mean a continuous stream of everything all the time, the same way Tesla isn’t crowdsourcing by streaming all data all the time.
