Choosing Eyes for the Car: LiDAR and Camera Trade Study

Placeholder entry. A trade study for the perception stack: LiDAR against stereo cameras for cone detection, weighed on range, cost, compute budget, and weatherproofing.

This is a filler entry used to preview the build-log layout with more content. Replace it with a real writeup.

Before the car can drive itself it has to see cones reliably at speed. This entry would walk through the sensor trade study: detection range and accuracy, what the Jetson can actually process per frame, and how the budget shaped the final pick.
