Ethan’s Status Report for 4/10/22

Unfortunately I was sick for a few days this week so I was unable to make as much progress on the LIDAR system as I wanted to. After I recovered on Monday, I started writing a ROS node that will accept incoming LIDAR messages and use them in conjunction with the object recognition system to figure out distance to cars. I also tested the LIDAR and collected some range data as shown below. Next week I will be working with my other teammates to integrate the LIDAR and camera together.
