  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?

      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.

        11 months into the future, you will get a useless unfunny reply!

  It also looks like the author doesn’t know the difference between sonar and radar.

  Yeah, it uses radio frequencies. RaDAR stands for “Radio Detection And Ranging”. It uses radio waves (usually in the microwave bandwidth) to detect things. Basically, since those radio waves are affected by the Doppler effect, you can have a computer do some math to determine the speed of whatever those waves reflected off of.

    Every wave is affected by Doppler effect.

    When a car rushes your way, it’s a tiny bit bluer, a little bit hotter, it’s drivers’ phone is operating on a slightly higher frequency and it sounds higher. According to you.

  Why are you misquoting the article that is not what it says

  The real quote

  LiDAR is essentially radar that uses light instead of radio waves…

    Why are you misquoting the article that is not what it says

    Why are you accusing me of something I didn’t do?

    From the bottom of the article:

    Updated to correct an error in describing how radar works.

    I quoted it correctly at the time. They just edited it after I commented.
