> Huh? The most basic skill of any driver is the ability to see if you're at a collision course with any other vehicle. I can accurately judge this at distances of at least 50 meters

Can you tell me the distance between 2 objects, each 50 meters away from you, down to 1 cm? That's the superhuman part. Even the distance between you and an object 10 meters away down to a few millimeters is impossible for a human.

And that's not remotely relevant to driving a car

It is because 10 measurements of that per second can predict with great accuracy where every object in the scene will go for the next few seconds, except for small children or bikes or ... that the LIDAR cannot see.

It can also tell you 4-5 seconds before it happens which objects are going to collide. Not just which object YOU are going to collide with, but any collision between any 2 objects if they are within the range of the LIDAR.

But they see fundamentally different things than humans. So humans will never work together nicely with LIDAR guided robots.
