Hi, did you ever make a video about app-marketplaces? If so, could you link it?

It’s not that lidar more expensive. It’s mainly the fact that LiDAR has to be pre-programmed into virtual maps, so you’d literally have to map the entire planet, and even then anything that changes would have to be remapped.
