Imagine having one hundred million euros (dollars, pounds, whatever) and genuinely thinking that happiness is just another hundred million away. They are all broken, failed humans.
Well, I've got to say: I wasn't convinced by this argument at all until that diagram appeared. And now, wow, I'm sold. Holy shit. Looks, there's shapes and everything. Truly, if something is shown in a diagram it MUST be accepted as fact.

So, yeah, a story from a Russian government mouthpiece quoting a Russian government spokesperson spouting Russian government talking points that - deary me, oh my days, can you believe it, bless my soul, what are the odds, well I'll be - paints a negative image of the country the Russian government illegally and unjustifiably invaded. Or, maybe the oligarchy are just pissed off that the warlords aren't buying their weapons from them any more?
But, yes, any self-driving cars should absolutely be required to have lidar.
So they think self-driving cars should have lidar, like a vacuum cleaner. They agree, and think it's a good idea, right?
I don't think you could find any professional in the field that would argue that lidar is the proper tool for this.
...then in the next sentence goes on to say that lidar is not the correct tool. In the space of a paragraph they make two points which directly contradict one-another. Hence my response:
What is your point here, exactly?
They could have said "oops, typo!" or something but, no, instead they went full on-condescending:
I think you're suffering from not knowing what you don't know.
I stand by my response:
arrogant sack of dicks
And while I'm not naive enough to believe that upvotes and downvotes are any kind of arbiter of objective truth, they at least seem to suggest, in this case, that my interpretation is broadly in line with the majority.
...what is your point here, exactly? The stakes might be lower for a vacuum cleaner, sure, but lidar - or a similar time-of-flight system - is the only consistent way of mapping environmental geometry. It doesn't matter if that's a dining room full of tables and chairs, or a pedestrian crossing full of children.
