You have good company with that opinion. No less than Sebastian Thrun will tell anyone who will listen that he is sorry he got the self-driving car world hooked

You have good company with that opinion. No less than Sebastian Thrun will tell anyone who will listen that he is sorry he got the self-driving car world hooked on Lidar point clouds. The Udacity self-driving car class is largely CV based. Cheap cameras and good CV will win eventually IMHO.
- annnnd 9y agoThe key word is "eventually". CV is making huge progress lately, but it is nowhere near human level yet. My guess would be that the first generation of self-driving cars will use Lidar because it means shorter time-to-market. Later manufacturers will be able to supplement Lidar more and more with cameras + CV. And maybe microphones, thermal cameras,...?
