No, I can't, because there's a lot more going on than just having recognized an object. How can we tell that it is cardboard? Or if we see someone throw a ball

No, I can't, because there's a lot more going on than just having recognized an object. How can we tell that it is cardboard? Or if we see someone throw a ball into the street, how can we get an idea of how much mass the ball has? Or any number of such scenarios... the answer is, we have a lifetime of experience of interacting with our environment. We've seen cardboard boxes, felt them, crushed them up and tossed them around. We've thrown balloons and rolled bowling balls. We have a learned understanding of both ourselves and the objects in our environment and how they behave.

- williamcotton 3y agoKnowing the color, shape, or sound that something makes doesn't mean anything without a lifetime of experiences to frame those sensory inputs and especially with regards to driving! You're being obtuse!
- the__alchemist 3y agoI've been dancing around the point in the hope you'd come to your own conclusions. Removing the last trace of subtlety: Your main point is this: > How does LIDAR help with [things cameras are good at and LIDAR is not]? This is a strawman, because no one claims it does. LIDAR's value is as one of multiple sensors to fuse together to build a coherant model.
- williamcotton 3y agoThat's not my point, and I was explicit about this in my original comment! My point is that sensory input to an autonomous driving system is not the difficult part to solve! Just take a quick look at some of my other comments so I don't have to repeat myself.
