- hypothesis 3y agoThat should be part of an assessment that government does before allowing those vehicles onto our streets.
- shwaj 3y agoA small nit (sorry): it’s probably not a matter of sensor quality (decent quality microphones are not very expensive), but rather the neural networks that process the audio signal.
- lumost 3y agoIt’s a blend of both. The human ear has a vastly more complex structure than a membrane and a sensor. We have complex flexible shapes to channel audio. Alongside an extremely complex set of hairs for hearing.

- bombcar 3y agoIt’s almost a harder problem - I can regularly hear sirens in my town the moment they leave the fire station until they arrive at their destination - more than a mile away in each case.
