That was an upper bound to show the absurdity of his non sourced "fact". The reality is much lower because the main sensor is the Velodyne, and it only produces 5-6MB/s. The primary focus of his picture is the Velodyne point cloud. Which he says is "1 GB per second" which is 100 times larger than it really is.
I have worked on several fully autonomous vehicle projects based on Velodynes and their processing and logging rates are around of 5-20MB/ (as you would expect) so seeing someone quote "1 GB/s" is pretty awful.
- steve19 13y agohow well does the Velodyne work in heavy rain or snow?
- markit 13y agoNot well at all, snow covers road markings and doesn't always reflect back to the sensor, rain is similar. Puddles are invisible.
- Schwolop 13y agoIt's also not officially water proof. That said, we used ours in light rain a few times and nothing bad happened to it. The data was pretty much useless however (although determining that was a large part of the point of the experiment).
- netrus 13y agoWow, never thought about that in the Google Car context. To be fair, I dislike driving in heavy rain myself, and most people drive much slower in such conditions. Still, that might be more of an issue in rainy Hamburg compared to the Bay Area ...
