That's a very important difference. If it turns out that LIDAR (and maybe other sensors) are needed in addition to machine vision for level 5 automation, all the data Tesla cameras have been gathering may be worth much less than the 3D models Google is building.
- nradov 4y agoWaymo is doing level 4 automation. Level 5 is still very far away, and will require more than just LIDAR. https://www.synopsys.com/automotive/autonomous-driving-levels.html https://www.synopsys.com/automotive/autonomous-driving-level...
- rafaelero 4y ago> Level 5 is still very far away, and will require more than just LIDAR. I don't think that's true. In my view, by scaling these AI models we will arrive there. But even if I am wrong, we don't need level 5 for this technology to be revolutionary. I am mostly interested in using Waymo as my new Uber, so if it can decently navigate cities costing half the price, then sign me in.
- mlyle 4y agoThe problem is the definition of level 5 is amorphous. That is, "everywhere in all conditions" exceeds what any human will do. If I won't drive in a blizzard or specific cities, does it make a car level 4 if it punts under these conditions? I think we need a better definition that encompasses the different capabilities of things calling themselves level 4, and avoids an impossible standard for level 5.
- nradov 4y agoI will be happy to consider a car to be "level 5" if it can drive to Lake Tahoe through a snowstorm and then park itself in a specific spot of a ski resort parking lot by following the vague and confusing hand signals given by the lot attendant.
