While i was reading this article i did find another article (AD) that was showcasing a product of LidAR tech in a small package. It seems unpractical to be very useful a long sim module with its own processing unit and on board electronics. The require space for the module to be installed was above the windshield and the roof. Much like other products of the same category, however this was a lot more compact. Seems to be a push for further compact innovation in this category. i was under the impression there was no need for multiple LIdar module on one vehicle, all you needed was one along with cameras to further assist the LIdar module .I do know that under normal operation the LIdar and camera system are separate and have different responsibilities.
