    Which lidar companies should I write about?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2020 10:41 AM PST

    I'm a reporter at Ars Technica and a regular reader of this sub. I'm working on a big roundup on the state of lidar technology. (You can see last year's effort here.) I'm interested in peoples' suggestion for lidar companies I should be writing about. Which companies have the best shipping products right now? Which CES announcements most impressed you? Please discuss in the comments.

    Also if you're a customer of lidar companies I'd love to hear about your experiences dealing with lidar companies and their products. Happy to talk off the record. [timothy.lee@arstechnica.com](mailto:timothy.lee@arstechnica.com). Thanks!

    Will trains become obsolete?

    Bob Lutz on the blending of rail-type with individual transportation:

    "The end state will be the fully autonomous module with no capability for the driver to exercise command. You will call for it, it will arrive at your location, you'll get in, input your destination and go to the freeway.

    On the freeway, it will merge seamlessly into a stream of other modules traveling at 120, 150 mph. The speed doesn't matter. You have a blending of rail-type with individual transportation."

    But what about the railroads themselves? How often are rail lines actually used? Would we not be better off ripping out the tracks and converting them into high-speed highways? Instead of one big long train, you could have small fuel cell-powered platoon capable trucks able to go anywhere. These converted rail lines could handle both freight and passengers.
