That's helpful. The scan pattern looks like they have an oscillating radial scanner plus a rotational scanner. I tried to build something like that once, using an military surplus Bulova resonant scanning mirror for the radial axis and a prism from a laser printer for the rotating axis. 1990s, before you could buy anything useful in a LIDAR. Never got very far.
You can do this, but unless it's super cheap, why? Price/performance isn't that good.
in the video, they mentioned there is no moving electronics parts. NOT no moving parts. I think they mean no slip-ring kind of easy-to-fail parts, which is necessary to connect the power and signal for rotating electronics.
Exactly, if it would of had solid state tech, I’m sure they would of mentioned it, that’s why I was unsure. It’s interesting to see the raw, competitive, old snake oil tactics in such a bleeding edge, socially useful, new technology. I cry a little for humankind.
