I went from the 5 to the 8a and my two biggest complaints are 1) the 8a is seriously heavier, and 2) the fingerprint sensor is garbage - like fails every 4th try or so
It looks like you've done some research but I strongly urge you to get some experience before you buy...especially when buying 4 bikes. Rent or borrow a bike or multiple bikes. See what you care about and what you don't. See what needs to be sturdy and what doesn't. Let your family ride them too, what's important to me might not matter to my spouse.
I get you with the windows 7 thing but how big is this company? There's a point where "corporate best practices" don't make sense because there are fewer employees. Maybe negotiate with the boss for one or two of the top things on your list and push the rest until next year.
Also, no matter where you are you'll probably end up frustrated with management not giving you what you need.
The problem was the different sensors could sometimes disagree. Like, vision sees an obstacle but radar isn't picking it up...which one does the software believe?
And if you think vision has problems with things like rain and fog, try radar or lidar!
Not mentioning the downsides of the other sensors always makes me suspicious of an article.
The key point of going vision-only is that: its what humans do every day. Articles that leave that out also disappoint me.
I have Kubuntu running on an Intel Yoga from 2022. I've never been able to get the fingerprint reader or the keyboard backlight to work but otherwise everything else works great
