Mobileye’s FMCW lidar with Gil Tidhar, PhD

CES 2023: Mobileye is currently developing the next generation of lidar. The next frontier in lidar technology, Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) lidar presents many advantages over conventional time-of-flight (ToF) lidar systems.
FMCW adds velocity, elevating the most advanced type of self-driving car sensor from 3D to 4D to lidar’s typical capability of sampling range, elevation, and azimuth (or relative trajectory). This allows for the quick identification of incoming small and fast targets (like motorcycles) at farther distances, measuring the headings of detected objects more reliably, and enriching the AI algorithms with additional velocity information.

I hope car manufacturers will use it!

[@s2upid88]

Why is the FMCW box so big?

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

Pretty cool!

[@zhangjun2020]

awesome

[@solomon239chen3]

if standing on your stock price, almost can NOT see this is good. why？

[@tribalypredisposed]

Because Tesla is many years ahead of Mobileye. All of these LIDAR units and so on, pretty expensive, and more expensive to add to an existing car than to build into one from the start. The main prize here is autonomous taxis, and cost to make the taxis, how long the taxis last, how much it costs to run the taxis per mile, will determine how expensive it is to summon a Tesla versus a Mobileye taxi. Tesla wins by a lot there. The number of taxis available, and the entertainment available on the trip will also be major factors in who wins the consumer, and again Tesla will win by a lot. Mobileye does not make cars at all.
Other autonomous driving programs have shut down, Waymo just did layoffs, and Tesla is finally completing the first phase of DOJO, their in-house designed and built and programmed supercomputer equal to the current world's top supercomputer, but costing a lot less and using a lot less power, this quarter, which is optimized for developing their FSD. Then they will keep scaling it, until DOJO has 7x the current compute of the top supercomputer in the world. No one can compete with Tesla in FSD, developing FSD is all about having the most data and having the compute power to process it while knowing how to separate the important from the not.
What Mobileye is showing here is a better blunderbuss. LIDAR is obsolete because Tesla has shown you do not need it, and if you spend the money for it all you are doing is making yourself uncompetitive.

@@tribalypredisposed Tesla FSD is a complete joke. The only FSD cars that actually work use LIDAR

@@kellymoses8566 LOL. Hmmm, should I believe the random internet "expert," or believe my own experience using FSD in my Tesla Model Y...?
