You've been reading about how we're adding all kinds of sensors on our car to cover bizarre intersection and merging geometries. Part of that little fiasco involves hiding 7 radars on the car, all in the bumper. I give credit to our mechanical guys for making sure the Tahoe still looks like a Tahoe after mounting all that crap. Of course the problem with having so many of the same sensor on the car is that you have to figure out which sensor is talking when one of them pipes up... so, we had a sensor naming party. Here are some of the candidate naming conventions that didn't make the cut (but sadly, were mentioned):

1, 3, 5, 9, ...
Delaware, Oklahoma, California, ...
A, B, C, ...
Left, Left of Left, Left of Left of Left, ...
Center, Center Left, Left, Left Left, Left Left Left, ...
C, CL, CLL, CLLL, ...

And despite all these "fantastic" choices, here is what we settled on:

RADAR_A_LEFT2, RADAR_B_LEFT1, RADAR_C_LEFT2, RADAR_D_CENTER, ...

Beats me... I just work here. Seriously, though, someone should consider making something like a baby name book- for sensors.
