Look at you. You just lidar all day waiting for prices to come down.

Based on the picture in the article, there’s some redundancy in this model, which makes sense for a product specifically designed to be used in a car, but you can buy an LD-06 lidar sensor for less than $30.

It’s impossible to tell from the picture, but it does look a bit like two LD-06 sensors in a case with a bit of room for some processing hardware. It depends on what kind/how much processing they’re doing, and I’m in no way an expert, but as a nerd with an Aliexpress account who loves to tinker, this looks more like a success of Chinese manufacturing at scale than some kind of new advancement that MacroVision made.
