Cameras can be mounted on the front, rear or side of a vehicle. The most common objection is that they don't want to add a second camera because it will cost them 25 bucks per unit. Cameras and lightar sensers all need cleaning mechanisms, but putting cameras behind the windshield could save money in the long run.
The asinine "camera vs lidar" debates are blown apart into several, far more interesting pieces in this week's episode, as the gang is joined by longtime friend of the show Tarani Duncan and Jason Devitt, co-founder and CEO of Compound Eye. Discussion covers the multiple approaches to camera-based depth perception, the evolutionary vs ground-up approaches to autonomous vehicles, and a little lidar shade as a treat.
