This startup has an answer to Elon Musk’s aversion to LiDAR:
“LiDAR is a fool's errand. Anyone who relies on LiDAR is doomed.” He went on to say LiDAR is an unnecessary, expensive technology.is confident his company has come up with a LiDAR system that actually “sees” better than existing systems and isn't nearly as ugly. It’s called “flash LiDAR architecture.“It’s very simple, has no moving parts, fully solid state,” explained Sense CEO Scott Burroughs in a phone interview.
He points to several other important differentiators that make the Sense system both more cost effective and “smarter” than existing LiDAR systems. Another differentiator, said Burroughs, is the flash LiDAR’s ability to “see” where current systems cannot—what he calls “big black region of about five meters” around the vehicle, which, he said, makes navigating urban settings difficult for robocars.
Still another difference between Sense’s system, said Burroughs, is it doesn’t feature those large spinning “coffee cans” on top of a robocar.
