Sensors alone won’t tell you that there might be another car exiting hidden behind the car entering the parking lot. Only intelligence can tell you that. The common sense you gain from billions of miles of real world experience. This is why pure vision end to end systems beat legacy systems. A low cost sensor suite lets you build up a massive fleet and a massive dataset so that you can predict things like this. Avoiding crashes isn’t just about seeing what’s in front of you now, it’s about predicting what might happen next. And the larger dataset enabled by commodity sensors lets you make much better predictions. That’s why counter intuitively a pure vision end to end system beats the traditional approach. It’s not that LIDAR and radar are useless, it’s just that intelligence matters much more than anything else.
