Can the VL53L0X TOF Sensor be used for Collision Avoidance System in the Zoomie?

The autonomous robotic car (Zoomie) will need to stop if something is in its path.  In this video, we scrutinize the VL53L0X Time of Flight sensor to see if it can meet the requirements of the ZoomTown Experiment.  Is it accurate enough? Can it be read quickly enough so that it doesn't bog down the performance of the PICO?  Let's find out...

Cheers!
