LiDAR is essentially radar that uses light instead of sound

Radar doesn’t use sound. It sounds like the author doesn’t know the difference between sonar and radar.

This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.

I think that's a big qualm of mine in terms of the sources allowed here, and I suppose it will take time to weed out the trustworthy from the not.

Why does the word futurism put you the fence?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago

A lot of articles that either use that buzzword or are published by sites that have that in their name are utter garbage. i.e rediculous predictions, inaccurate headlines/content etc.

Futurists are people who cosplay as scientists predicting stuff they have no clue about.
