They can and they do.

They've also built it into a full neural simulator.

I think what we are seeing is that they both converged on the correct approach, one of them decided to talk about it, and it triggered disclosure all around since nobody wants to be seen as lagging.

I watched that video around both timestamps and didn't see or hear any mention of LIDAR, only of video.

    Exactly: they convert video into a world model representation suitable for 3D exploration and simulation without using LIDAR (except perhaps for scale calibration).

      My mistake - I misinterpreted your comment, but after re-reading more carefully, it's clear that the video confirms exactly what you said.
