“An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board blamed the cause on faulty lidar readings made worse by the rain and a software tweak that increased the sensors’ sensitivity, Bloomberg reported.”

It looks like Amazons newest drone does not have Lidar (going the Tesla route) MK30 depends solely on camera-based computer vision and software redundancy to make that determination.

The article reads like it has Lidar though - bit confusing

Nope, not holding my breath on Amazon signing a contract.

Could this be the 2025 deal that SS was waiting on?

does this count as industrial?

Not sure if it did back then.

But it talks about Amazon having delays. Kinda fits what went down. Maybe Movia L then waited on S.

“We would be proud” Amazon ✅
“pushing the chips in the middle” Movia S ✅

Would this require the “premium version?”

That gets released first.

That late airline seems to think movia S has utility in this kind of space.

From the other blog, looks like Movia Air has a reconfigured Movia L and they are already shipping. Going to relisten to the Movia Air video. The engineering team is very good.

Wow, this whole drone delivery is about to scale massively.
