What is LiDAR? Do we want it on Self-Driving Cars?!

This video dives into a complex topic LiDAR and explains it in a simple and intuitive way.

Light Detection and Ranging is a technology that has been around for decades. Its use cases vary from geo-mapping, a rather eye-catching use in Apple's iPad Pro, and more recently in autonomous cars.

An interesting research paper from Cornell: Pseudo-LiDAR from Visual Depth Estimation:
Bridging the Gap in 3D Object Detection for Autonomous Driving
by Yan Wang, Wei-Lun Chao, Divyansh Garg, Bharath Hariharan, Mark Campbell, and Kilian Q. Weinberger
(Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) provides some interesting ways to marry the cheap camera technology to LiDAR's principles.
