Cameras also can't really see around objects (in front of car, for instance). Lidar can. With cameras, its as if the goal is "to mimic human vision". That's fine and all but why can't we make it "beyond human vision"?

I’m really curious to learn about how lidar can see around things? You’re the second person to make this claim in this thread and I’ve never heard of it. Please explain or provide a link or something.

Hey, thanks, that was interesting.

It doesn't look like it will be widely available for a few years at least though.
