Okay, so here's the core thing. With radar, quickly, the benefit. LiDAR is this really cool version, right? You can see everything around you. It looks super futuristic. Crazy powerful. Radar, way less so. And this is older tech, right? This is shooting microwaves, or radio waves, sorry.

They're slower, so you're not getting as much definition, but they can go through certain types of, let's say, fog and whatever else. So you basically have two physical different wavelengths, and they can kind of cover each other's gaps, right? LiDAR might have some gaps. Radar can cover that. And then vision, which is cameras, that can see everything around you, again, like eyeballs, right?

Like you would imagine. So there are three different sensors, types of sensors, that you can put into a self-driving car that will help you to learn what's around you, right? And so what Waymo, which is the current leader in the U.S., has done is they are making their cars with cameras all over, just like a Tesla. And also there's a LiDAR system.

There's that thing at the top and on the sides they have LiDAR. So it is shooting lasers everywhere while they're driving. And they have radar. They have three different systems which are overlapping and basically covering each other to make sure absolutely everything is covered. And all three of these combine together in a Waymo to give it a ton of

of information of everything that's around it in any condition. That is their approach. They think this is the Gusteau approach. We're going to go slow, careful.

Yeah, you can kind of see it here in this LiDAR thing. Like it's ridiculously detailed. And this again, you could be in pitch blackness and it would see this.

And they had to go through a lot of homeless people.
