Why are we setting the bar at human vision? Computers have so many ways of being able to see better than humans. Why would you not want the most visibility possible? Why not be able to see around the car in front of you for more advanced warning? Or why not be able to see around corners? I mean, we put so many cameras in cars now just to give the driver the most visibility possible... and for some reason, we should only use 2 cameras for driving, because that's what humans have? Seems like a low bar to me.
- Spivak 5y agoI think you're misunderstanding my point. Whatever breakthrough that enables autonomous driving won't be blindly throwing more data at the problem until it works since it's clearly not necessary for human drivers. Or phrased another way, autonomous driving isn't a data or sensor problem. Humans don't have super advanced sensors or a hive mind that amalgamates all driving scenarios from billions of miles driven and engineers and data scientists just need to catch up. No, it's our brain that's the super advanced thing that we haven't caught up with. Yes, in real life you would want your autonomous driver to have all the data possible available to it.
