I agree VSLAM is good and getting better everyday, but I don&#x27;t necessarily agree it&#x27;ll displace LiDAR for autonomous vehicles. The first generations will probably have both. Sure, LiDAR is more expensive, but we&#x27;re talking about avoiding collisions here -- I believe the extra safety is worth it. I don&#x27;t think portability is not a big issue for cars (though it is a bigger concern for smaller aerial vehicles). LiDAR will still work in the dark, and potentially with much more range than cameras can. Having worked with vehicles using both technologies, I&#x27;d feel far better on the LiDAR-equipped one.
