Vision only is probably better than mixing different sensors. Radar brings a whole other set of issues. BMW and other driver assist systems with radar all have a class of failures related to the detection of stopped objects when traveling at high speed. The radar is giving a confusing response and the vision disagrees. So which one to trust is hard.
Tesla’s vision is just a better approach. It’s how humans drive. FSD is using all vision.
- jtsiskin 5y agoThe argument “more sensor data = worse” is a pretty hard one to make, especially in the AI world. If it were the case radar is bad at detecting stopped objects at high speed and vision is better there, wouldn’t the model learn this? Yes, humans drive with just two eyes. But we don’t have LiDAR. If humans had LiDAR, you can bet we would use those when driving too. If Tesla had had LiDAR, it seems reasonable to believe at least one of the autopilot involved deaths would have not occurred. So now we’re at a weird point where we are evaluating the trade off between money, progress, and human lives.
