“Magic Carpet” 1 and 2 are some of the most unique #retrogames ever made! I played them in the 90’s, and I still play them even today. The first game was even ported to #Playstation and #SegaSaturn (PS1 version is better). Highly recommend playing them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_C...

Full self-driving cars will not succeed without a #LiDAR and vision combination. LiDAR fills the voids that a “vision-only” vehicle leaves behind. I recently discovered #Luminar and am very excited about their LiDAR+vision tech! Really hoping it becomes the standard! www.luminartech.com

#LPT: Buy a #Battery tester! Every time I have changed batteries on a device, I find that only 1 or 2 of the batteries were bad, while the others were perfectly fine. Also, use rechargeable batteries! They might be expensive up front, but will save you tons of money down the road!
