The bar is not "being able to navigate the world". The bar is doing so 10x more safely than a human, and currently the human deaths-in-car-crash rate is something like 1.2 per 100 million miles driven [0]. For scale, that is the same distance from the Earth to the sun, and equivalent to 4000 trips around the equator. I understand it is theoretically possible to beat this without a LIDAR but you are seriously understating the difficulty of this task when you say you just need a smart processor.

- ec109685 7y agoInjury rate / accident rate is a good proxy for deaths, so you don’t need as much data as 1.2 in 100M would imply. Also, given humans drive a lot, even with those astronomical odds, if you drove 15k a year for 60 years, you’d have an almost 1% chance of dying in an auto accident.
