I think the idea is, why would the visualization be so intentionally bad in the Autopilot version as to not detect the kids entirely? What benefit does that confer, or, from another perspective, what software constraint forces this to be the case?

It's not _intentionally bad_. Autopilot and FSD are _different products_ with _different tech_.

It's not like they could simply copy `detect_children()` from FSD to Autopilot and call it a day.

Hmm, that might be possible, but that's essentially not what I assumed. At the very least, they operate on the same hardware, so Autopilot is in some sense "intentionally bad" as a whole.
Exactly that, yes. Thank you.
