More than 2.5 km of previously unknown Inca roads have been mapped near Machu Picchu using drone-based LiDAR, revealing hidden terraces and platforms beneath dense forest. Even after all these centuries of research, the Andes still hold remarkable archaeological secrets. 🏺🏔️

Der Artikel stellt einen Vergleich zwischen Kamera und LiDAR her. Das ist bereits eine irreführende Gegenüberstellung. Der relevante Vergleich wäre Kamera allein gegen Kamera + LiDAR + Radar. Und das ist nur ein Punkt.

tests like this are sort of worst case for camera-based systems because those systems are trained on footage of real people and that dummy neither looks nor moves much like an actual person HOWEVER--and this is FUCKING KEY--that's irrelevant if you have REDUNDANT SENSOR SUITES INCLUDING LIDAR
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

Just want to point out that “genius” Sissy SpaceX, designed and built such a piece of crap vehicle that EVERY SINGLE ONE HAD TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE SHIT IS FALLING OFF.
In testing, Teslas camera based auto braking system REPEATEDLY ran over the child test dummy.
The competitors with LIDAR didn’t.

We don't need a brand new ATC system that is made up of space-based satellites. That's a DISASTER for pilots & ATC. What we need is fixes to our land-based radar/lidar network, which were finally underway (thx Biden BBB funds) until Musk apparently got a no-bid contract to TAKE OVER EVERYTHING.

It's important to note that the other car that was tested in this original video DID manage to stop in time because it uses LiDAR, which Tesla removed and strongly stood against because they wanted a pure vision based system to cut costs.
I thought this was a stupid move back when they did it

New Lidar-based estimates of classic-era (6-900AD) Maya population in central Maya realm from Tulane-UHouston lidar group: 9.5-16 million people.
a) Figure is super-high on a global level for that time period;
b) Estimate doesn't include a lot of Maya country, so the total Maya figure is higher.
