    They will never get it to work well no matter what they do because they insist on only the optical camera sensor. I work in this industry (but with busses), it is the accepted understanding that there will never be enough data from a camera and it will always be ambiguous and too much noise. Investor and Tech bro want to pretend they can defeat physics but they are wrong. Optical radar and radar are both very common and it is normal to combine as many sensor as possible to not miss anything.

      This is one of the big reasons that I really liked the game Watch Dogs Legion. The game has self-driving cars in it, and they make a point of saying that the cars can't operate alone, they essentially need a massive network of surveillance drones on every street, and it turns out those surveillance drones can also, like, do surveillance and shit.

      I don't know what the fuck is wrong with SV dudebros who insist on fighting physics, it's so stupid, and this is far from the only case. Colossal waste of resources.
