Couldn’t an infrared camera have helped? black paint is not anyways black in infrared, and the recently-crashed car would likely have a heat signature. I wonder if they would have to start from scratch with their training data, or if black and white could be used for everything.
- dragontamer 5y agoThe RADAR that Tesla used to ship with (and older Teslas used to use before FSD12 disabled it) would have almost certainly seen the truck in this specific case. The issue with RADAR was allegedly phantom braking, if Tesla marketing was to be believed. But other companies seem to have RADAR systems that work. ------ Its fine to use 1.2 MP 1/3" CMOS sensors as part of a general-purpose sensor network (which may include RADAR, ultrasonic, and cheap Cameras all working together). I think LIDAR is still needed to really make things work, but RADAR + Cameras seem to cover a wide variety of cases. What's a problem is when Tesla starts removing RADAR and pretends its an advantage. (Look, they couldn't figure out the RADAR false-positive problem, and there's a chip shortage right now anyway. So they just... stopped using RADAR)

And the phantom braking hasn't improved without radar. As with so many things at Tesla, this was clearly a cost-cutting or supply-constraint inspired move masquerading as some technological advance.
