      Yes. And, I shit you not, his reasoning is that humans only have 2 eyes and not LIDAR and we’re able to drive so that’s all a computer should need to drive too.

        Which isn’t wrong… in theory…

        The difference is that we do not have anything even close to the human brain in its capabilities.

        …not to even mention that there can be upgrades to human vision. The reason our vision is how it is is due to energy efficiency and a small defensive surface area. A car doesn’t care about any of that.

        Doing something just because that’s how humans are, without further reasoning or as an argument in of itself is… ambitious to put it mildly.

          Wrong? No. Stupid? Yes.

          That’d be like saying building a car with wheels is not necessary, we use two legs and can get around everywhere!

          The whole point of technology is improving what we can do with our bodies alone. Yes, we use two eyes to drive. Yes, I wish I had some magical radar that could immediately warn me if a child is suddenly jumping in the road.

            Pretty much. They are parallell solutions, neither necessarily better than the other (though for a car radars and such probably are just objectively better). Like how wheels are better on asphalt, but legs are better on rugged terrain or forests (aka more versatile, but even then you can always augment legs with a bicycle).
