MIT researchers develop imaging system that peers through fog

The video discusses the challenges faced by self-driving navigation systems in foggy conditions due to the scattering of laser light. It introduces a time of flight camera that emits laser bursts to measure distances. An algorithm has been developed to interpret scattered light patterns, allowing the system to calculate distances even in fog. The ultimate goal is to integrate this system into autonomous vehicles to enhance their ability to navigate safely in adverse weather conditions.
