No you don't. You just need to avoid hitting it.
The problem with a vision-only system is that you need to know what an object is to determine the bounding box and thus how to avoid hitting it. Which is the problem we've seen with FSD where if you combine two options e.g. a boat on a truck then it gets confused because it hasn't been trained on it yet.
- leobg 4y agoYou think a vision system cannot detect that something is there at all unless it can also correctly categorize the object? In other words, you think if the object just happens to be one which the system wasn’t trained on, a vision based system will necessarily report “nothing there”?
- cycomanic 4y agoThe big problem for vision systems (in particular if they don't use a lot of cameras) is that it's very difficult for them to determine movement and distance. This becomes exaggerated when objects move perpendicular to camera, one of the reasons is that the distinctive features of cars, trucks, buses are not so clear anymore. There are quite a few examples of hilarious mischaracterisations in these sort of cases.
