Humans manage with only two cameras.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoActually we also have very sophisticated direction finding sound processing, and tactile sensors on the wheel and seat plus proprioceptors (a trade secret that no at tesla has been able to reproduce). This allows for e.g. driving over snow and being able to process the sound of the snow as it is driven over as a hint to the rest of the driving system.
- manojlds 10y agoYou are giving humans way too much credit.
- visarga 10y agoThere's no reason why a microphone and an accelerometer would be hard to connect as input features. The car can make use of the same hints, and most probably make better use than even humans by learning to distinguish more informative patterns.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoI agree it "could" happen - but nothing is shipping yet.
- Animats 10y agoWhen we were designing our vehicle for the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge, we considered installing a guitar pickup on the frame to sense vibration. Early plans for the Grand Challenge involved more off-road driving, and we wanted something to give us a sense of surface roughness. In practice, the off-road aspect wasn't important and we were overdesigned in that area. We had a 6-wheel drive vehicle and a windshield washer/compressed air cleaning system for the sensors, which were totally unnecessary.
- jakobegger 10y agoYeah, but our cameras have adaptive resolution, a large field of view, very good dynamic range + low-light performance, multi-axis control, and they are tightly integrated with a sophisticated processing system.
- rplnt 10y agoOn top of what others have said, we manage very poorly.
