It's true. LIDAR can make the car look bad. If you add LIDAR in places where you can hide them (like the side of the car) vision is seriously restricted. This is why Google places the LIDAR so high up in their cars. The LIDAR is able to give an almost-birds-eye view of the surroundings the higher up it is. Plus Elon doesn't like LIDAR because it bit him when they tried using it for autonomous landing tech at SpaceX.
Still, cameras and radar only get you so far... I'm also wondering how Delphi is doing all this with the tools they have.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoPer their site, the Delphi vehicle has "... four short-range radars, three vision-based cameras, six lidars, a localization system, intelligent software algorithms and a full suite of Advanced Drive Assistance Systems." http://www.delphi.com/delphi-drive http://www.delphi.com/delphi-drive
- CardenB 12y agoRight, I meant to say, "I wonder how they're getting so much functionality out of LIDAR without mounting it so high?"
