Certainly two cameras with different FOVs could be combined to give the same depth data that a stereo camera setup could give, right?

  not if they are on the same axis. then anything along that axis cannot have its depth determined

    It can through other signals. You can drive successfully with one eye.

      That's not stereopsis. And it's terribly inaccurate.
      • ec109685 8y ago
        No it isn’t. You can perceive depth through motion. And one eyed people can drive a car legally: https://itstillruns.com/can-drive-blind-one-eye-5689258.html https://itstillruns.com/can-drive-blind-one-eye-5689258.html

      I've got one eye at 20-20 vision, and the second legally blind without correction. My drivers license has a little note that it's not legal for me to drive without my glasses, which I never wear under any other circumstances. So it's not so clear cut as you make it out to be. (And you know what? Even if it were legal for me to drive without those glasses, I'd still drive with them. Because ranging is important!)
