The Gap (Current Tech)

A "Map Download" (Long Task) blocks "Lidar Obstacle Detection" (Critical Task). A 300ms delay at 60mph means the car travels 8 meters blind.

The WDS Advantage

WDS uses Yield Points. It pauses the Map Download to ask: "Is anything urgent waiting?". WDS forces the Lidar task to run instantly.
