How is camera placement worse than what we can see as a driver?
- bastawhiz 5y agoHumans can turn their heads. We also have stereoscopic vision that is able to gain visual clarity with minor movements. Our eyes also mechanically adjust the amount of light they receive, can focus dynamically, and are self cleaning. Could you do this with cameras? Possibly, but it would be a lot of cameras and a lot of mechanical parts—not ideal for a car.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoIt's probably not, but humans have a mental model of the world that cars don't, even ones with relatively advanced computers. Using more and better sensors is an attempt to compensate for the shallow mental model, so you'd have cars still being 'dumber' than human drivers, but if they're all-knowing, that doesn't matter quite as much.
