How to pronounce “lida” in English

In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means youLiDAR to four, how we should expect to see Waymo's tech suite evolve over time, and what it means for maybe the future where we could use this on a passenger vehicle.

The ability to carry the sensor packs on these vehicles is highly limited, which actually offers a lot of innovative approaches--LIDAR-based and vision-based systems that actually have been tried.And one of the key challenges is to small objects such as these wires.

There's this fantastic nonprofit called SUGi.So LiDAR is essentially when you create a 3D scan or a digital twin, if you will, of all of your surroundings.

Sure, sure. So we go from these wonderful images to something that is pretty mundane, which is a picture of a tool, right?But LiDAR is a tool that has been used most recently in archaeology.It's a technology that's been around for several decades now, and it was only recently applied to the region where I work by some colleagues of mine who work in Belize, Arlen

Let's think really at a large scale.So LiDAR is large-scale in and of itself.But then, the project itself was even larger than any LiDAR project.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.Now LiDAR can tell us what the Rebel base really looked like.

And so we work a little bit with the SVA folks, and they actually told me there was someone that I had to meetand her name was Lida, and that is how we started engaging on this.So thank you so much for joining us today.

We've made a lot of progress in perception for self-driving vehicles when we developed an important sensor, the LiDAR.Before we had the LiDAR, all the navigation algorithms used sonar, and sonar has a wide cone of uncertainty.No algorithms worked with sonar.

That's not that much when we're talking about 60,000 square kilometers of an area.So then the LiDAR project comes in and, within a month or two, gives us data for five times that in one year.So when you think of it all, that's the context within which that question that you're asking comes up.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.So while LiDAR gives us large things, it also gives us really small things.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.using this aerial LiDAR platform for this, what are the main areas of technical overhead?

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.So that LiDAR survey that we did through Pacunam was actually using one of the most advanced sensors at the time.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.These are the LiDAR captures.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.like we did with LiDAR in other data.

Another thing that we're doing that's very easy for the brain to figure out is we did this collaboration-- oh, sorry-- it's a collaboration that we did with a Google team in the BayArea where they have LIDAR set up in their office.So we came and tapped into the data stream so that we could tell the location of everything, and then we brought in a blind participant

and will measure, when it is launched in about half a year's time, will measure wind speed and wind direction in a three-dimensional field in cloud-free atmosphere,because the LIDAR, the laser beam, is actually reflected on the molecules and the particles in the atmosphere.An element is coming back to the satellite, and those elements coming back through the velocity of the satellite allows you to retrieve in three dimensions.

Just the rover both does image processing for navigation.It has a lidar mounted on it as well.We have to be careful with the lidar.

So what do we do with those?We do lidar. So this is a lidar airborne laser scan of a piece of the where my wife works on the archeology, the verypost interesting period, of the 19th century.

And they have a project, and they're looking at these production sites down here.And the lidar, we can take the trees away quite effectively.So we can see through trees and see the landscape underneath.

So we talk to these folks and we said, how would you like it if we could build an autonomous cargo helicopter thathas a lidar that could come in and find a landing zone, and land where you want your supplies.And they all, all of them had experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The overriding thing in our discussion-- our end user was Grandma.It also had a LIDAR, a Velodyne system for pinging its terrain.

The overriding thing in our discussion-- our end user was Grandma.And it had a LIDAR on it, and it took data of the ice pack in the Arctic regions.

So I'll be passing things over to them in a moment and hopping off.But we have with us Lida Citroen, who is here today to speak to discuss her book "Success After Service-- How to Take Control of Your Job Searchand Career After Military Duty." She shares how veterans can have successful career transitions and provide strategies for long-term career growth,

So, it just feels like a really serene calm experience just because it's so well-built.And you might have also noticed the Lidar box right above me on the top of this car here because the other button on the steering wheelis Xiaomi's full self-driving, which doesn't work on every road here in the US but in China you have Pilot Pro and Pilot Max

Professor, it'd be easy to focus on the technical details of the work because they are impressive, and we will get there.But before we talk about the LiDAR surveys, let's take a step back and focus on the bigger picture.You're lucky in that, in your line of work, you're a time traveler of sorts.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.So leveraging both precision of LiDAR to find out little features, structures, buildings, and then using the topographic data

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.of a certain sample of LiDAR, and then combining that with other data from other sensors--

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.based upon what you learn from LiDAR.

Or we need to swim more.A single autonomous car with a LIDAR generating 750 megabytes of data as it's going down the roads.

It has a lidar mounted on it as well.We have to be careful with the lidar.We take it to other countries because it's export controlled.

And originally the sort of assignment from ONR was make this thing fully autonomous with absolutely minimal dependence on a pilot or a human operator.It has a super duper amazing LIDAR on it that was built for us by Sanjiv Singh and his group at Carnegie Mellon.

She's a recruiter at Google, our Vet Net New York lead, and she's married to a retired Army colonel and fellow Googler.So take it away, Lida and Tricia.Hi. Thank you so much, Charlene.

So I'm thrilled to be able to chat with you today about it.Thank you. Lida, let's kick it off, because I'd like to know how you started working with the military community and the genesisfor writing this book.

In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means youSo it isn't just a bet on LiDAR, it's a bet on a multimodal, multi-sense sensor system.

And it has the exact same 12 cameras and sensors and LIDAR scanner all around the outside.

And I said, we're not doing this anymore.I don't know when I'll get LiDAR, but that's where-- we can't go on this way.Because it will dedicate too many resources, too many people.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.Now we've got 6,000 square kilometers of LiDAR.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.those are the ones that were done by the Pacunam LiDAR initiative that I'm part of.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.But we can use the patterns we see with the LiDARed areas to then maybe inform the rest of the region.

such as getting promoted, building a network that works, and living your values.An ally passionate about serving veterans, Lida is a personal branding expert and military transition specialist.A TedX speaker, author, and coach, Lida has spent 10-plus years helping transitioning service members and veterans secure meaningful and rewarding

Lida, I'm thrilled to have you here.Let me just say, I was introduced to Lida couple of years ago now by the Student Veterans of America that we get to work with through Vet Netand as Vet Net in New York.

We need those people in our network too.For those who don't know, Lida is a personal branding specialist.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.And so what we did was we took the topographic characterization based upon our LiDAR data.

have some basic kind of state control of the aircraft.The simplest one is if it's coming in and it actually has a lidar on it, you can just see some of these operational modes here.Here's the helicopter scanning the terrain and choosing a landing zone.

interface and the core autonomy mission manager out of that to give the system a very kind of predictable look and feel to the person.read about-- machine vision, and lidars, other kinds of advanced sensors, path planning.

A TedX speaker, author, and coach, Lida has spent 10-plus years helping transitioning service members and veterans secure meaningful and rewardingpost-military careers. So welcome back, Lida.We're excited to have you here today.

We need those people in our network too.No, I'm telling you, Lida, this book, it's you.

In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means youYeah. So it feels like Waymo's made an implicit bet that LiDAR is necessary to sort of use autonomous driving safely, and Tesla's made a bet that you can achieve

In addition to that, it's really, really important- To be clear that when we are talking about the Waymo Driver, we are only talking about technology that means youBut you know, just to be clear, we use LiDAR camera and radar.
