Did you forget why the 737 max had 2 crashs ? The alert of the difference between 2 sensors didn't work / wasn't there. So the system was relying on 1 sensor.

I have a foldable flip phone. It is equivalent : I need to go through some effort to open my phone. I don't open it unless I need to

Because it's physically not the same. Again, 1 fixed camera does not provide as much data as a single eye. It's not about the resolution, it's about the 3d perception that even a single eye provides. You can try yourself : close one eye, and you still have a good 3d perception. Now try to make your orbit fixed, no head or eye movement, and then everything feels flatter.

What i meant is that if you multiply the number of cameras, probably make them movable, and with amazing vision software you might approach the performance of 2 humans eyes, but really it is just extra step to simulate lidar data at this point.

> After all, we made machines perform on a superhuman level in many areas already. You could have said "A machine will never be able to move as fast as a human unless it has two legs and feet". But that is not how it turned out.

Yes, thanks to wheels. Robots with legs do exist; but none of them is close the speed of an average human running. That's my point. We are not gonna do better than human vision by simply taking 2 cameras thinking it is equivalent to a human eye.

Human have excellent 3d vision, even with one eye. Some ability that only a vision-lidar fusion would match, not vision only. Human vision isn't just a flat image like a camera render. Distance from an object is not only estimated from using a stereo camera (2 eyes), it is made from constant movemnt from the head, and the ability to rotate the orbit on two axis.

Vision might be viable in an unknown future (which tesla is very good at seliing), but right now it is very dumb to forbid yourself extra data.

At least it works. Meanwhile Tesla have nothing to show, even in "very specific conditions".

Come on, it's time to ditch this "vision alone" thing for self-driving cars. A computer will never be safe with vision only. Things like reflection and false positives will always wreck the statistics of even the perfect AI, there is no way around it. And I'm talking about good weather conditions.

The numbers show it, the few that Tesla releases about FSD are not up to the level with Google. If it was good, Tesla would be transparent with their results.

Really ? Mine has an uptime of a year or so, it resets only if a big storm stopped the main power for a few seconds. Maybe it is the new hardware ? I have the original one (arvm6, 512 Meg of RAM)

Maybe because the event was all smoke and mirrors, and no actual numbers and plans were revealed ?

And quite recently they also recovered from a faulty ram module, with a radio link speed that is maybe below the kbit/s now !

I'm pretty sure that manufacturers have some room to include a 9-year reliability in the design of a +700€ oven. That's why consumer laws have differents warranties.
