I'm still convinced that prime majority of ML, and "self driving" is plain fraud to get money out of investors, big businesses, and fat employers.
The best proof is that even with billions spent, the best contenders got marginal improvement over what Mercedes had in 1990 with discreet algorithms and no neural/fuzzy logic
Doesn't drive in anything, but the best conditions, and needs human intervention every 5km unless a passenger is ready to wait few minutes every time it has to pass a complex intersection the safe way.
I think them finally employing a mm-wave radar this time is an evidence to them backing off to more "dumb" and sure to work solution as a last line of defence once their fancy imaging/neural algo fails.
The question is: if after all they weren't able to make their neural net algorithm to best the "dumb" approach, why use that fancy "artificial vision" to start with?
