I did the math in my head. Before i read their comment in fact. Did calculations both on paper and spreadsheets too. Run simulations, and field tests too. Based on what i know i do not believe that the latency imposed by the frame rate of the cameras is a limiting factor on self-driving car performance or safety. I was asking to see if they have some particular scenairo in their mind to check if maybe i’m missing something. If anything I’m much more concerned about the latency of brake actuators.

Ah, ok. If we are just catching the vibes, then sure. The vibes are great.

This is would be pretty tangential to the discussion so not sure why you are bringing it up? Did you think my post was illustrating that camera based self driving cars were infeasible? Also it appears you are mistaking framerate for latency, something I specifically warned about in my post... I don't really know what to say here.
