Writing software for competent self driving is turning out to be really hard, and no one is succeeding. On the other hand, building better and cheaper lidar hardware is a well-defined problem that companies can pour money into. Their software still sucks, but everyone’s occupied with wrangling the $100k lidar.
- grenadier21 8y agoCould some rebel make things like fake road bumps that lidars can't pick up, but humans can?
- 01100011 8y agoProtecting AI against spoofing attacks is a pretty active area of research right now.
- paradoxparalax 8y agoProtecting neural networks from adversarial attacks, i think you mean. Protecting good A.I. from spoofing attacks is exactly the same as protecting human drivers from spoofing attacks.
- brokenmachine 8y agoOr the other way around - trick the lidar into thinking a road bump is there when there is no bump.
- lsc 8y agoI agree... but I also want to point out that it's totally possible that writing software to make self-driving cars work acceptably well might be easier if the software has better sensors than a human does, so it might actually be the best way to try to solve the problem.
