I know almost nothing about cars and so assumed LiDAR sensors are just prohibitively expensive for Tesla to install in every car. But then years later I learned that every modern iPhone has a LiDAR camera.
Still don't know how to think about this - how is it possible for a phone to have LiDAR (barely utilized) but it's too expensive to have them in such a critical setup as an autonomous vehicle.
- justsomehnguy 3y ago> how is it possible for a phone to have LiDAR Just like you can have a 50MP camera sensor in the phone: it works? Sure. Is it sufficient to capture the Moon (heh) or something 50-100 meters from you? Not at the quality and performance of professional equipment. Sure, you can have a matrix of iPhone LIDARs but whould they works at sufficient speed, accuracy, at +40C, at -35?
- manquer 3y agoWhy should they need to in a L3 system ? All L3 systems only operate under known easier conditions. The self driving could turn off in unfavorable conditions . My car’s lane centering switches off if there is rain or snow obstructing sensor .
