A camera that is slow to autofocus is the result of market compromises to reach a price segment in a platform that is within the confines of a camera body dimension. That is not reflective of the state of the art however.
- ModernMech 2y agoStill, the whole rationale behind the camera-only approach is that cameras are cheaply sources, and therefore more suitable for mass production vehicles, unlike LiDAR which are more expensive and not as widespread. If you're now shifting to the idea we need to use state-of-the art sophisticated camera technologies instead of the commodity stuff, now you're back to paying LiDAR prices, so why not just use that? And anyway, Teslas sold today and for a long time now are supposed to have been sold with cameras sufficient to solve full self driving (not beta). If state of the art cameras are needed, I've got bad news for all those Tesla customers.
