I don't know how this will pan out, but I've seen a lot of criticism of Tesla "only" using vision, as if it's a ridiculous concept that will never work.

But humans drive... only using vision.

Maybe it's not possible for Tesla to get true FSD using only video data given current technology, but the idea that it's laughable doesn't make any sense to me. People drive in new environments, using only their eyes, all the time.

It's laughable given the current state of computer vision. CV has made enormous progress over the past decade, but it's still brittle and probably shouldn't be relied on in a life-or-death situation

Human brains are massively more powerful per watt and trained for years to respond to visual stimuli.

No they don't. Driving uses multiple senses. Sound is the most obvious one, but other less-well-known senses almost certainly play a role as well.

Deaf people are allowed to drive. I really don't think taste or smell help.
