Why not both? Infact, Waymo has Lidar, radar and cameras (Tesla have just the last 2 and are working overtime to demonize the first). More data (and more redundancy) is better - assuming you have the computing power to process all the sensor input. As far as I can tell, the rubbishing of Lidar is FUD.
- DeonPenny 8y agoBecause if you're using lidar for depth and you try to mass produce the there a high chance the lidar will be broken and because it accurate people will assume it more correctly. Eyes and camera may sometime make mistake with distance but usually it will be software not hardware. Lidar opens the issue for both. So it's easier to use the camera and just try to make a camera as good as lidar.
