  well I mean it’s the one thing that Tesla’s got going for it compared to Waymo which is way ahead of them.

  He’s right in that if current AI models were genuinely intelligent in the way humans are then cameras would be enough to achieve at least human level droving skills. The problem of course is that AI models are not nearly at that level yet

    Even if they were, would it not be better to give the car better senses?

    Humans don’t have LIDAR because we can’t just hook something into a human’s brain and have it work. If you can do that with a self-driving car, why cut it down to human senses?

      Exactly, with this logic why have motors or wheels?

      You don’t have wheels so you shouldn’t use cars

      I agree it would be better. I’m just saying that in theory cameras are all that would be required to achieve human level performance, so long as the AI was capable enough

        Except humans have self cleaning lenses. Cars don’t.

        “So long as the AI has the same intelligence as a human brain” is a pretty big assumption. That assumption is in sci-fi territory.

    I am a Human and there were occasions where I couldn’t tell if it’s an obstacle on the road or a weird shadow…

      Yes. In theory cameras should be enough to get you up to human level driving competence but even that is a low bar.

    Cameras are inferior to human vision in many ways. Especially the ones used on Teslas.

      Lower dynamic range for one.
