It makes intuitive sense since you can say, play video games with one eye closed. Yes you lose field of view. Yes you lose some depth perception. But you don’t need to touch your finger tips and all your ability to make predictive choices and scan for things in your one-eyed field of view remains intact.
In fact, we already have things with remote human pilots.
So increasing the field of view with a single camera should intuitively work as long as the brains of the operation was up to the task.
What I was talking about was largely doesn’t apply to the Autopilot legacy stack currently deployed to most Tesla cars.
Personally I wish Tesla would spend a couple of months cleaning up their current beta stack and deploying it specifically for AEB. But I don’t know if that’s even feasible without affecting the legacy stack.
