While LIDAR and RADAR sensors\u00a0could be used for ranging, cost considerations and the huge installed base of vehicles that lack these sensors, especially in\u00a0developing regions, call for a low-cost yet robust alternative. To this end, we present\u00a0FarSight, a system that performs [&hellip;]"}
