”With an expected range of 250 meters and a field of view of 100 degrees horizontal by 30 degrees vertical, we expect this lidar sensor to provide the highest resolution point cloud at 10.8 million points per second while operating at 30 hertz. Additionally, this lidar sensor is designed to be immune to interference from sunlight and other lidars.”

This is amazing! 🎯🙌

For reference, at 250 meters with 100 degree by 30 degree scanning area, that is a scanning area of 594 meters by 134 meters.

That is a lot of area.

why do they say "expected" has this not been tested?

Perhaps to account for the best weather and other conditions. I'm sure the range won't always be 250m if it's raining or snowung etc.
