Wow that is bonkers. Do you think Musk is right about the audiovisual-only approach to self-driving automotives? I must say I rarely disagree with his thinking

Wow that is bonkers. Do you think Musk is right about the audiovisual-only approach to self-driving automotives? I must say I rarely disagree with his thinking when it comes to physics and computer science, but that was one of the few times I thought he was wrong and I'm still not sure, but your story does make for a compelling piece of evidence.
- mjevans 5y agoIf we had Scifi style millimeter wave radar (I'm thinking 'Snow Crash' (book) style stuff) that gave the computer a surface shape and 'signature' model to think about? That'd probably be the safest since it's better than human vision ever could be, though it'd still be tough since humans are analog supercomputers that are well versed in traversing 3.5 dimensions of space and the advanced memory and hazard prediction elements really help. Vision based computer systems really need the persistence and object recognition factors. A strong specialized faked intelligence might be sufficient, more so if it's less distracted than humans.
