alt Hacker NewsI really wish that companies would just sell their products instead of doing the business relationship 2-step. It is an unnecessary waste of time to sell product.
It looks like these sensors have just enough range to be effective for lidar terrain scanning. I would have bought a Movia S right now just to try it out.

Isn't LIDAR a high powered laser? How could they just go selling it to consumers like you?

I hate this as well, but there are valid business reasons:
- Setting up infrastructure and support for consumers is expensive and hard to do well, especially if that's not your main industry.
- Some products are only economical if mass produced, and that requires large, guaranteed buyers.
