The laser detector becomes 2.5 times more sensitive and can operate over a wider emitter range. For solar, it uses way less material with the same performance.

Exciting paper. Lots of technological advances, some of which will definitely pan out and lead to other advances. Some suggest we can get to autonomy with cameras and software but it's going to take a lot more advances in hardware as well. When you think of how some of these new things can be combined things get very interesting.
