Depends on the use case. A car that requires five minutes of driving to calibrate its cameras once after exiting the factory would be completely acceptable. A drone that has a pre flight calibration when one first takes it out of the box would be okay.
- tjoff 2y agoWithout calibration do you know you are in spec? If I bought a car and 5 min into driving it tells me that the camera system is defective you are not gonna have a happy customer.
- watt 2y agoHow do you jump from OP "after exiting the factory" to your "bought a car and 5 min into driving" ? Those are two rather different things. Are you just looking for a pointless argument?
- tjoff 2y agoIf testing takes too long to be sustainable outsourcing it to the customer seemed like the suggestion? Admit perhaps a bad example but point still stands. Take the other example then: "pre flight calibration when one first takes it out of the box".
- jfim 2y agoRealistically, the dealership is likely to drive the car for a few minutes, if only to put it in the right place on the dealership lot, fill it with gas, and get it washed before delivering it to the customer. If there was an issue with the camera system it could be caught at that time.
