Systems built from cameras that are only nearly as capable as human eyes and software that is only nearly as capable as the human brain will fall short overall. To match or surpass human performance, the individual components need to exceed human abilities where possible--and that's where LiDAR provides an advantage.
- BurningFrog 7mo agoI think the computer is WAY more capable than me because it doesn't get distracted, bored or tired. If the cameras are a little less sharp in some sense is a minor rounding error in comparision.

- cyberax 7mo agoThat's correct. They are _far_ less capable than human eyes.
