No, they don't work and aren't cost effective. But they sure are marketed well.

If you noticed, one thing I didn't dispute at all was the "cost effective" part -- LADAR sensors are becoming cheaper and cheaper every year. I remember back in 2008, they were prohibitively expensive (around the same price as a Model S is now).

Now, you can get ones anywhere from $200-$5000. That's why I am sticking with my 5 year prediction for an auto pilot Jetta.
