What I'm saying is that the data alone won't make self driving cars much better, nor bring driverless cars much closer to reality.

- jessriedel 14y agoSure, but that really doesn't address the OP's assertion.
- koide 14y agoHow so? If that data alone won't bring significant improvements, how could it be the primary reason behind its collection? Much more likely they are collecting the data mainly for other applications and have the self driving car data as a nice addon.
- jessriedel 14y agoBuying paper clips won't bring a significant improvement to my office productivity--less than 1%, I would say--but it's still true that the primary reason for buying paper clips is to improve productivity. It's just that paper clips are so cheap compared to the value of my total office output that it's still worth buying them for a tiny improvement. This is all still true if I also occasionally use the paper clips to construct tiny toy ninjas for fun.
- koide 14y agoRight. LIDAR data would correspond to the toy ninjas, IMO.
