A tiny chip replaces the spinning wheel. <a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semiconductors/optoelectronics/mit-lidar-on-a-chip" rel="nofollow"> Here.</a> I guess they have a shorter range. Which is why I had to pull that crap out of the cobwebs in my brain. I remember some of the guys talking about solid state a while back, but at the time I didn't think it would be better than the current way. Irrespective of the cost differential. I thought they would only want "richer" lidar. But I guess they seem confident they can get that with solid state.<br />she said:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15003430767746896739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-66814236963035344212017-04-20T15:24:46.578-07:002017-04-20T15:24:46.578-07:00Does "solid state" mean no moving parts?...Does "solid state" mean no moving parts? i.e. no spinning laser projector on top? If so, what replaces the spinning head? <br /><br />And if not, what does "solid state" mean here?Mr. Snarkolepsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153922402945825178noreply@blogger.com
