Animals do just fine with more complex navigation challenges than driving a car. While we can 'mimic' various animal capabilities, I don't believe we are anywhere close to AGI with either a dog's level of intelligence, motor control or sensory integration.
- ModernMech 5y ago> Animals do just fine with more complex navigation challenges than driving a car. Do you have any scenarios in mind? Driving is not only a navigation challenge, but a social challenge as well. Have you ever tried to navigate a 4 way stop when multiple cars get there at the same time?
- shkkmo 5y agoThe theory of mind problems involved in driving are huge and are primarily why I don't think you could teach an non-human animal to drive on streets / in traffic. But depth perception isn't really involved there so those theory of mind issues don't really have any bearing on the need for lidar for self driving cars. Clearly creating world models of sufficient accuracy for driving scale navigation challenges is possible (but potentially pretty hard) with just vision data.
