I do get what you are saying and agree with you in principle, as I have noticed the same. But that said, this same way of thinking can really apply to any abstraction. It really just depends on the level you're working at. A software architect might know the nitty gritty details of how each service works, but really those implementation details don't matter if the abstractions are handled well enough, so in theory they don't really need to know those details as long as "the pieces fit". But of course the catch 22 there is you can't build good abstractions that can fit together well if you don't understand well enough the underlying details
Edit: I'm also wondering if anyone has any idea as to the estimated cost of such a technology? Thousands, tens/hundred of thousands, millions? A quick search of lidar sensors seem to be in the range of $2500 - ~$10000 for ranges of sub 30 meters.
This technology seems similar(?) to lidar from what I can tell.
It will always be a matter of "us vs them" it's just a matter of who is "us" or "them"
LOL. Does anyone actually believe that?
