Depth estimation is not a solved problem. Why do you think SDC companies pay so much to buy Lidar if depth estimation was solved?
Because they bet wrong. It happens.

This is exactly why Waymo and Cruise and such believe autonomy Level 3 or so is utterly dangerous and have intentionally skipped it entirely.
Do you think Tesla's insistence that LIDAR is useless has a part in this case? To me it's telling that everyone in the ASD game _except_ Tesla is using LIDAR.
I would like to add over here that Tesla does indeed do sensor fusion in their cars. Their Autopilot combines radar and ultrasound with vision to decide where to drive. Commentators bringing up LIDAR are jumping the gun by assuming that this scenario isn't something that these sensors wouldn't have detected in either combination or individually to spot the anomaly. The problem over here is likely to be software due t…
Your comment actually emphasizes why having a lidar is better. Cameras need neural networks to detect objects. Lidars on the other hand provide distance to all the surrounding objects. The neural networks processing the point cloud may not be able to detect what the object is, but because of the distance available in the point cloud data you will know there is something ahead. Fusing radar with camera does help but r…

Did that Tesla that smashed into the side of a semi truck bet correctly? https://www.google.com/amp/s/electrek.co/2016/07/01/understa...
That’s needlessly antagonistic and not cool.
English is not my first language. I am confused by the blatant use of the term "Auto Pilot". Does it not suggest more automation than is currently feasible? Why not intelligent assist? Why is tesla/musk getting a pass here?
However, that's because a lot of people on HN understands how a plane's autopilot works, but most people do not. They assume it is what they think a plane's autopilot is supposed to be. Since a plane could technically take off, fly and land itself by wire, but only under the best of conditions.
At least, that's my theory.
can we just make a law that the driver is responsible/liable for the car they drive, regardless how they drive it? I mean breaks failing while you are actively driving is one thing, but to completely surrender control, that is a choice.
But that's what Elon promises. He is careful never to publicly say it outright but his PR machinery wants you to believe this car can do things it literally cannot.

This is why we use a redundant geometric approach (with LiDAR) as a fallback to NNs in our perception stack. NNs can have false negatives which is unacceptable, but dealing with false positives is more manageable and safer.
Does lidar have anything to do with the redundancy?

Straight isn’t everything. Autopilot keeps you in your lane even as the road curves. With caveats. It’s beta after all.
It its "in beta" as you say, keep it on private roads until out of beta. Sincerely, everyone else.
