Could someone confirm or deny if a Lidar is or can be used to assist Vtol landing, that is like, make it slow down as it gets to 1m over ground and such? Sort of like 2 stage landing, 2-40m Xm/s decent and when at 0-2m Ym/s (slower) decent. This would save a lot of battery. Obviously I am referring to autonomous mode.

Or a more nifty option is in case of battery failsafe and landing at remote location, it can circle glide till it gets to 40m according to the lidar, then and only then, switch to transition?

This is a nifty feature, if possible especially for gas planes. If crusie motor stops for whatever reason in the air.

Thank you.
