They might be thinking as follows: a human can self-drive a car. If we give the car enough sensors to get all the sensory data that a human driver gets, then implementing self-driving is just a matter of software.

- paulcole 5y agoBut how do they know they’ve given it enough sensors? They can be confident sure, but as we all know confidence is the food of the wise man but the liquor of the fool.
- eterevsky 5y agoI'm just speculating, but you could test this as follows: transmit the data from the sensors and let a human driver control the vehicle remotely using video and audio feed that they collect from the sensors. If this turns out similar to driving a car in person, then they could deduce that they do collect enough data for self-driving.
- paulcole 5y agoBut that only proves that they've got enough sensors to allow a human to drive the car. Until the car is actually self-driving they won't know for sure if there are enough sensors for self-driving. They're making a statement of fact based on a leap of faith.
- jacquesm 5y agoAh, the eternal 'small matter of implementation', I've heard that one before.
