You don't have a lidar sensor in your head. You have binocular vision. There is no reason we can't achieve parity with human ability with a camera suite. In my opinion lidar is a fools errand. Also I would not expect a tesla to be speeding down an alley.
- neural_thing 6y agoThe human eye can detect two photons so the brain can identify a star in the night sky. Show me a camera suite that can do that.
- Google234 6y agoI don’t think we can “see” two photons. The brain will filter that away as noise. Cameras definitely can though :)
- kordlessagain 6y ago> The human eye is capable of detecting a single photon, the smallest unit of light, according to a new study. Google is not your friend, but it searches this just fine.
- Google234 6y agoDid you look at that study? N=3 getting it wrong most of the time...
- innagadadavida 6y agoIf we’re just designing a system that is just as good as humans, your argument makes total sense. But it looks like we want a system that makes fewer errors and doesn’t doze off and has no alcohol issues. So it’s perfectly acceptable to want something that can also see a little bit better in the dark.
- dlivingston 6y agoThe implication here is that visual object detection in the weak link in human driving safety: I would counter that distractibility and poor response times are the weak link.
- nradov 6y agoPerhaps that will be possible someday, but we still don't have affordable cameras that can match the dynamic range of the human eye. Cameras have superior resolution but they struggle when the scene is unevenly lit.
