As long as you've observed the particular pickup truck before IDing it later is actually a very solved problem (like, the exact one, not just make and model). Back when I was an intern I worked on the "old boring currently deployed legacy tech" and it was quite good (probably scary good to some people) and it was using radar signatures. I suspect that the development of that technology combined with recent visual spectrum developments (i.e. cheap good cameras) has made the tech even better.
Having the good judgement to not obliterate the truck while it's yielding for a funeral procession is the hard part to do in software.
I agree he's underestimating the software complexity. Anyone can built that crap. It takes tons of R&D man hours to refine it into something that actually works and works consistently in the real world.
- stunt 7y agoI think he is talking about decision making abilities. But even stuff you mentioned are too hard to build for a real world military scenario. They have to deal with countless different objects, scenarios, and situations. Too many edge cases to cover and will take ages to adjust and it will be full of human errors. They can build it for simple tasks. Find the best route to go there, bomb that specific target, come back and during your mission deal with a limited set of defense scenarios.
