Sony's new HDR camera sensor for self-driving cars eliminates LED flicker

It's important to remember that the emergence of robots, drones, and self-driving cars goes hand in hand with the development of the smartphone. The sensors embedded in any midrange Android phone today would be the envy of the most advanced roboticist a decade or two ago.
