They make heavy use of simulators [1] where they simulate weather events and create their own weather maps [2]. It's a very sophisticated stack.

- guiomie 3y agoThe kind of comment I expect from hacker news, thanks! Its impressive how the lidar resolution evolved as per the youtube video. The color added, i wonder if its post-processing.
