Nah thats old. They now use https://www.sony-semicon.com/files/62/pdf/p-15_IMX490.pdf and they run multiexposure on every frame. Stupid high dynamic range

Oh, interesting. 120db is much better than what I thought possible with CMOS sensors. Thats competetive with the human eye.

Well, that definitely changes my opinion on how feasible/competitive camera-only autonomous driving can be.

Next time you’re facing blinding direct sunlight, pull out your iPhone and take a picture/video. It’s a piece of cake for it. And it has to do far more post processing to make a compelling jpeg/heic for humans. Tesla can just dump the data from the sensor from short&long exposures straight into the neural net.
