for anyone who maybe got confused SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping.

edit: I think if it is possible to do SLAM without LIDAR waymo will definitely beat TESLA to the punch since waymo has an absurd amount of vision data labelled with the lidar-measured-depth.

Speaking of that. I’d think we could possibly train on simulations. We’d have the 3d information plus the rendered 2d camera view.

I don't know if people do this for vision yet but I know some people doing this for RL for robotic control.

Google has a simulation for their cars that does this. Nvidia has a hw suit for this purpose too and for testing autopilot hardware by feeding it data from another rack/server
