>it's still worth asking whether lidar could have prevented the crash that killed Jeremy Banner.
Lidar doesn't automatically make a car safer without the software written to accompany its use. Its a very trite summation on a very complicated and cost conscious subject. The same sentence could be equally re-written:
>it's still worth asking whether paying more attention to the road, while using a system you are supposed to could have prevented the crash that killed Jeremy Banner.
And it's more to the subject.
- malcolmgreaves 7y agoThis discussion is in the context of relying upon an automated driving system. Depth perception is a key requirement of a self driving car. When these conversations mention lidar, the implication its s information is fused with oper sensors to produce a coherent mapping of the environment. The technical limitation of every Tesla vehichle thus far is their inability to reliably understand the proper depth of objects. People have died as a result of their design flaws. That is the ultimate cost in making an automated car.
