- AlotOfReading 1y agoIncredibly, you're underestimating the computational power of both autonomous vehicles and human brains. A modern smartphone is more than 2000x the Apollo Guidance computer. A Waymo is significantly more powerful than that. A human brain is tens of trillions of times more powerful than the AGC, assuming somewhat low estimates.

- ricardobeat 1y agoHow does that help seeing under the chassis/wheels? That extra power might mean seeing something move in your peripheral vision, intuit that it might be a cat, predict its path in space, and that it may have put itself under the car because that’s something cats usually do. The LiDar achieves nothing compared to this.
