It is rather funny that in nearly every Tesla-related thread, they are slammed as irresponsible fraudsters for their decision to not use LIDAR and rely on a radar/camera-based system. Cameras cannot detect obstacles, we are told, and they'll never be able to make an autonomous vehicle without it.
This, despite the fact that humans do well enough and that Structure From Motion has been a well-established part of Computer Vision research for a while.
More on topic, this is pretty great work and it'll have wide applications, for example Google's own efforts to make robot arms more perceptive using regular cameras: https://ai.google/research/teams/brain/robotics/
