…Muenster. He cited its long-range perception with high precision, immunity to interference, and ability to provide per-point instantaneous velocity and motion measurement. “Current lidar is suboptimal—it's prone to multi-user interference, needs high wattage, and has a large form factor, so it's not scalable to mass-market deployment,” said Muenster. “We know the limits of ToF, and FMCW is becoming standard. It's…
