That last thing you want is two systems arguing about what they see.

Also its lame to downvote for disagreeing.

Do you prefer to have one system that’s confidently wrong in specific circumstances then?

Sensing of real world is really hard. Sensor fusion is a whole discipline.

Like MCAS and the 737 MAX? That system didn't argue with itself neither.

EDIT: Downvoting for disagreeing is fine, according to pg himself.

People arguing for just cameras in cars have never been outside near-ideal road conditions that California offers.

Good luck driving with cameras only in northern countries (Scandinavia, Canada) when the sun is hanging low over horizon and is reflected back at you from the road.

That’s why you put in triple redundancy…
