LOVE the fact that LiDAR is OpenData!

I am currently working on a website https://hillsha.de that makes it easy to download LiDAR las/laz files for almost every place in europe, the US and some other regions. I also made an iOS app for the same use-case, which can render the LiDAR data in 3D and 2D without PDAL and GDAL. It uses a vibe-coded library instead that combines both in native Swift. The iOS app is still in testing but works great.

Implementing France was a lot more comfortable than almost every other country, very well structured metadata and naming conventions. So thanks for that

(i work at the german mapping agency but this is a private project since i just love working with LiDAR hillshades)

Producing specific niche models for 100 year old industries that have mountains of data and warehouses full of folders will be the european take on AI.

It may come late but it‘ll be safe and reliable. It also requires a lot of OCR.

Exactly. As a german i can say we don‘t care about your salary, we only really care about your language and culture. If you move to a foreign country, learn their language, it‘s literally the only way to integrate into a culture. Germans frown upon rich, tax-paying immigrants that don‘t try to learn german way more than they frown upon B1 speaking ones that don‘t have a job. It‘s about culture, not money. It‘s not the US lol
