Cool, but less cool when I remember what dark shit this kind of technology can be used for
*will be used for
Really cool, but really scary, all I see is facial biometrics from 1 km away.
And suddenly masking got a whole lot more popular.

Don’t suppose they sell those on aliexpress yet?
But Elon thinks camera vision is enough to drive a car.
Well, not to side with the fascist shithead, but you know, “broken clock…”. The thing is, camera vision is kinda enough… It’s an entirely different thing if it could be better, improved, safer, or whatever by adding LiDAR or other tech…
Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, you chose to be confidently incorrect about this?
In fog, in a sand storm, in any heavy weather yer gonna want LiDAR.
Their camera gets confused by large objects in the dark that obstruct it’s view. It has crashed into a few overturned vehicles at night because it didn’t know what they were and just disengaged instead of detecting an impasse and stopping.
If humans can do it why not cameras?
Reason 1: humans can blink – a dirty camera can not.
Yeah, it makes it better and more reliable in harsh conditions, I agree, but driving has always been based on people looking where they go, so camera imagery is enough for driving. If it is not safe for a person, then it’s not safe for a car with only cameras. Plus only having cameras doesn’t mean you cannot use special equipment, IR cameras can improve visibility on harsh conditions too. Not that I mean they are used, but you know, it’s a matter of what we mean with “enough to drive”. Again, I want to emphasize that I agree, having LiDAR or other tech would be much much better.
