Isn't Google's approach dependent on expensive LIDARs and high resolution 3D maps [0], or have they changed that? I don't see that kind of system scale well.

I've read LIDAR cost was dropping fast, it was expensive at the time and as a short production item; nowadays it's even small.

About the 3D mapping you're probably right, I somehow expected it not to be a deep problem.
