Here's a nice video: https://answerswithjoe.com/lidar-vs-computer-vision-waymo-be...

It's a little more compelling on the data side but also goes into Lidar vs vision.

It might be controversial at this point to assert that vision is better. But I don't think it's controversial any longer to assert that vision is sufficient.

Given that driving and roads are currently set up for vision and Lidar will never be able to "see", it seems very reasonable to think vision could ultimately be better.



Or none of it will work.


I and many others believe that it is very unlikely.
