The brains (ai models) are more important than the sensors. Cameras are good enough. Lidar doesn’t keep Waymos from driving into an 18” deep puddle, or driving the wrong way down the street. Lidar doesn’t help predict when a pedestrian is going to try to cross the street. Lidar doesn’t give the car the common sense to slow down because a child just ran behind a parked car and will soon be coming out the other side.
