Only thing is they seem to focus on it being used to detect chest/head height obstacles, and am just wondering about it's sort of aiming methodology - as in does it use ultrasonic radar on a limited target angle, which you aim by 'looking' at it, or is it literally just scanning something like a 90 degree angle to try cover something like the average body width up to 3m ahead, etc.
