  • Musk maintains that camera-only technology is the most “human” way to approach self-driving, since people use their eyes to navigate the road.

    A few years ago I was driving on the motorway, came up on a bend in the road and was greeted by a dense freak fog bank out of nowhere. I immediately let go of the accelerator to reduce speed, at the same time my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and a collision alert started blaring. That gave me enough time to apply the brakes and prevent a collision with the first and only traffic jam I’ve ever seen there.

    I see no reason to not augment our own capabilities with radar and lidar, to see what we as humans can’t.
