I was an early backer of the LiDAR Lite[0], and I'm really excited to see LiDAR products become more affordable. A recent project called Sweep[1] the $350 super low-end disruptor to the $80,000 Velodyne models. I wonder how long before we have plug-and-play open-source projects for multi-sensor fusion[2] of cameras, LiDARs, and microphone arrays. A common digital trend appears to be subsidizing sensor quality with data volume and processing power. Are there projects for this now?
