“However, the low resolution of these DEMs compared to those obtained from LiDAR data reduces the accuracy of extracting solar energy potential maps, which poses limitations for precise location ...

So far, almost every autonomous vehicle we've encountered uses lidar to determine how far away things are, just as the winners of the DARPA Grand Challenges did back in the early 2000s.

Voyant Photonics, a lidar startup based in the heart of New York City, says its new chip-scale sensor - harnessing frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) technology - will become available at next ...
