Earlier quoted context omitted.
Im skeptical you can do real autonomous driving without context. In DC, we have roads that flow one direction part of the day and another direction the other part. We've got roads that will be shut down unpredictably when there is a diplomatic event. We've got constant construction, where a two lane road might be reduced to one lane with a human holding a sign or using hand signals to usher cars through on their turn…
For a few more very common examples of humans using context: A human will spot a person wearing headphones and recognize that person has a low situational awareness. The computer doesn't come close to even having the optical resolution to do that if the AI was perfect - remember human vision is 570+ megapixels, even a 4K video stream is literally two orders of magnitude lower. [Now think about the fact that if we bui…
This seems to come from http://www.clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html
But that number is a calculation of the maximum resolving power of the human eye filled across a 120 degree field of view. The fovea is the only portion of the retina that actually attains that acuity and it encompasses roughly 2 degrees in the center of the retina.
There are roughly 120 million rod cells and 6 million cone cells in the retina. The rod cells for color vision and cone cells for low light. As each individual rod cell is primarily sensitive to one of red, green or blue they match fairly well to the rgb channels of a pixel. So the eye could be considered to provide data roughly equivalent to a 40 megapixel color image and grayscale 6 megapixel. So ~5 times a 4k image.
Edit: And even that actually over estimates the amount of data the brain is actually processing. A 4k 60 fps video is handled by 6Gbps and the human optic nerve only has roughly 8.75Mbps of bandwidth.
