Last time I checked I relied entirely on vision to drive autonomously.


That's a very naive way of looking at this.

You have an extremely detailed world model including a mental model of the drivers and other road users around you. You rely on sight, sound, experience and lots of knowledge. You are aware of the social contracts at work when dealing with shared resources and your brain is many orders of magnitude more powerful than any box full of electronics.

What you can do with 'just vision' misses the fact that you are part of the hardware.


I don’t disagree - what you’re saying is major improvements in AI would be needed to make this work. You are correct.


You rely on a moving camera, microphones and vibrations all together. Driven by a supposedly more advanced meatware than what tech can create today, so that it can properly reason even with faulty/missing signals.


Humans also get into accidents all the time, that's not a great benchmark.


And birds didn't invent jet engines, so obviously we don't need those either, right?


You also have hearing, you can move your head and wear sunglasses to avoid glare, etc.


You have a much better GPU than it has.
