"Just ignore the lidar in situations where lidar and vision conflict and you have the original decision."

Then why have lidar? If it's only purpose is to agree with vision or you just discard it, then why even have it?

I’m arguing against the idea that conflicting sensors is an issue. Clearly you can do no worse with sensors A and B than with just sensor A.

You might want to not have sensor B to lower the cost (as I suggested). Or you might want to have both sensors A and B because the provide some synergies (as gkop pointed out, better range of view, increased confidence, etc.). But it’s definitely not enough to just argue that the sensors may conflict.

Hypothetically, 1. Improved confidence when both signals agree 2. Improved field and range of view
