You have it wrong. Processing LIDAR is way, way more computationally efficient than processing camera footage into a 3D model. LIDAR feeds you direct distance and speed data. Cameras of course do not, meaning you have to try to compute it, something which is very hard and error prone for even the most powerful computers that have ever been created (human brains).
- lb4r 3y agoYou aren't wrong, but my assumption was (perhaps incorrectly?) that they would add Lidar sensors in addition to their cameras, not replace them.
- llamaimperative 3y agoBasically every AV company except Tesla is doing cameras + LIDAR. Tesla decided to do camera-only for definitely-not-cost-cutting-reasons.
