Everything said about LiDAR, oldest first

Jan 9, 2024 positive
Assertion Partly supported
LiDAR functions identically in pitch black darkness as in bright sunlight
“The majority of accidents happen at night in the whole point of the LIDAR, in addition to being able to get the three D depth is that it sees the exact same, whether it's pitch black outside or whether there's bright sunlight shining into the sensor.”

Jan 9, 2024 bullish
Assertion Supported
Luminar achieved 250-meter LiDAR range versus legacy 30-meter systems
“Historically, LIDARs would only ever be able to see in very low resolution and only out, you know, for many types of hard-to-see objects, only 30, 40 meters at most. You know, here we are showing it at extreme clarity at, like, 250 meters with all the right ch…”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Russell: LiDAR safety technology will follow seatbelts into universal regulatory adoption
“You know, you take the Volvo case of, you know, being the first to introduce the modern three-point seatbelt. What, that was like, 1958, 1959, you know, something that ultimately, Obviously got adopted across the broader industry and ultimately became a regula…”

Assertion Contradicted
Russell: LiDAR performs identically in pitch darkness and direct sunlight
“The whole point of the LiDAR, in addition to being able to get the three-D depth, is that it sees the exact same, whether it's pitch black outside, or whether there's bright sunlight shining into the sensor. You know, they get the same output, because it's act…”
