Lidar, optical distance and time of flight sensors

Animats

I was expecting flash LIDAR and MEMS mirror systems to dominate self-driving cars by now, but rotating machinery is still dominant in the US.

The trend in China and Japan is a long-range forward-facing LIDAR coupled with three shorter-range units for side and rear coverage.[1] The long-range unit still costs around US$10,000. This should come down with volume.
