The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra employs 9-in-1 pixel binning, which means that the 108MP sensor actually produces 12MP photos. This would still be a massive file size for a smartphone, but what if Samsung was able to use something like 36-in-1 pixel binning, which would reduce 600 megapixels into a 16MP image.
German automotive supplier Bosch has announced that it has created a lower-cost version of a lidar sensor, a kind of sensor that provides a full 3-dimensional view of the road using light. This could drastically speed up the development of self-driving cars as no affordable sensors are currently available on the market.
