Featured LIDAR business practices

You missed the part where the drone is restricted to three feet from the ground.

 

I think the whole thing is that some rich guy makes propaganda about how his product is better. Then people who follow the guy or his company become spokespeople for said company and promote that company's ideas and products.

In the end, we don't know yet what will "win" the technological war in the following years. If Teslas didn't have any accidents while using full-self-driving, then there'd be a case. Promises that the future will be this or that are used to win over more investors, but at the same time are just words that mean nothing until the product is actually presented. I'm still waiting on the second gen Tesla Roadster with pneumatic rockets, the $39,900 Cyber Truck, the $25,000 "Model 2" as well as any Tesla I can just jump in the back seat and let it drive me to wherever I need to go.

 

That's a very good analogy. Who would have thought that we'd transition to LCD and OLED? Even by today's standards, CRT's have certain advantages over all flat-panel type of technologies. Image and frame response is perfect with zero delay or latency in a CRT, whereas even the best micro-led still have some latency. CRT's have the absolute best black frame insertion (BFI) over any other technology. And their resolutions and pixel sizes are scalable, especially on tri-tube CRT projectors. But yet, nobody manufactures CRTs anymore, and very few people buy them.

It's not a matter of what is best "in my opinion" because if we used what is best in my opinion we'd all be using CRTs still and if we all used what's best in Elon Musk's opinion then Waymo would ditch their LIDAR systems for "superior" camera tracking technology. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. Either one could be like plasma TV, that had a rather short commercial life span after being touted as "the best in display technology."
