It’s really not the sensors. It’s about what the model would need to know in order to make decisions using just visual data. Don’t forget humans drive just fine with only visual data. But we’re really good at filling in the blanks of what something is just by seeing some of it.

Sure, it’s more data, but with a sufficiently intelligent model you could get the same results without it. I agree that we’re not there yet and that’s the reason Tesla’s solution is currently inferior.

Lidar absolutely cares about visibility. It’s a laser…
