Unless it's hanging from a cable https://www.masterfile.com/image/en/700-08743685 https://www.masterfile.com/image/en/700-08743685. But then, it could be a streetlight so only vision can solve this problem https://www.123rf.com/photo_2753272_hanging-street-lamp.html https://www.123rf.com/photo_2753272_hanging-street-lamp.html
- cogman10 5y agoYou need vision to determine it is or isn't a traffic light. Lidar would be able to tell you if the object should even be evaluated. A light hanging from a cable would still get a lidar ping back. The moon would be a void with no lidar ping.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 5y agoSo LIDAR says there's something, and maybe the car should stop. Maybe is not acceptable (and blind in the rain/fog), so you must rely on vision to make the decision – which is why Tesla goes straight to the heart of the problem. They haven't solved it yet, obviously, but neither has Waymo or anyone else. Tesla is probably collecting more images of 'moon or traffic light?' images than the rest of the industry combined already.
