Cameras and LiDAR

The speaker describes multiple cameras around a vehicle. LiDAR offers complementary capabilities and can help train the cameras.

We're vision-based beings: we see the world through our eyes. But a vehicle benefits from multiple sensors, rather than just one camera or two cameras like a human's two eyes. In our case, we have 65 megapixels of cameras behind you and around the corners, providing coverage without blind spots. Some areas even have redundant coverage.

LiDAR is particularly helpful for seeing precisely in low-light, bright-light or foggy conditions. Its strengths do not completely overlap with a camera’s.

It's incredibly useful for training your cameras.
