And safety isn’t limited to working in harsh conditions. Mistaking a picture on a billboard for a real object, or mistaking a truck color for the sky can also get you a crash by clear weather.
The crutches analogy isn’t a very good one. If you ask a doctor, he will probably advise you to use crutches until you can stand firmly on your own two feet!
- dmix 7y agoThose don't sound like things Lidar would have a problem with. The color doesn't matter only whether the surface is reflective (basically anything not matte black). But otherwise objects are easy to detect and distance. The problem with weather is different as the individual droplets bounces the Lidar light before it hits the object.
- cm2187 7y agoMy point is rather that those are things CV would have problems with that Lidar disambiguate. And yes there are conditions where neither work well, and frankly where humans barely function either. Much of driving in heavy fog / heavy snowing is really a leap of faith at low speed.
