Holy shit I hate STEMlords sometimes

"just use AI to supervise the AI"

"why don't they just let it get stuck or crash like in murica?"

    I still to this day laugh at the fact that tesla shipped lidar in their cars for years in anticipation of self driving features, but then just removed it later and went camera-only. I think mechanics were even instructed to remove it from existing vehicles that came in at one point.

    Not a serious company.

      You can tell that musk has never even played around with a Coral or done any work with vision. I do not trust the system that classifies me as a refrigerator and a sleeping bag as a blahaj in a life-critical operation. The only way I'd trust cameras, despite what the morshupls would say is if every vehicle had an April tag on every corner. Even then, April tags, which are infinitely better that classifiers are known for shitting themselves and going insane twice a minute unless you do a Kalman filter with less trust in vision that my-hero's children have in him. Cameras fucking suck but I have an unhealthy relationship with them and I love them.

        yeah, even having only played around at an elementary level with apriltags, using mostly other people's pre-vetted code and hardware, 100% agree.
