Exactly. It's an open invitation by the wearer to have violence done to them. People don't like cameras pointed in their faces without consent. Some countries might legally allow a person to be filmed but they're still going to be provoked. Other countries have an expectation of privacy built into law where consent is absolutely necessary to film them except in an incidental or narrowly defined basis.

It probably isn't a great way at all since you only have an approximate sense of what you're filming and have to crank your head in the direction you want to record which may not be practical with glasses perched on your face. Anyone interested in doing this would be better off just using a Gopro or a phone and holding it or putting it on a stand.

I see what he's saying and it's obvious. Cameras working off visible light have similar limitations as humans - conditions like snow, fog, rain, sun, shade, dark, reflections etc. all impact on what the car can see and compromises its safety. So why not use invisible light - infrared, or other radio waves like radar to penetrate further and identify hazards sooner?

This is obvious stuff and its demonstrable. Mark Rober did a series of tests on YouTube proving this exact point pitting a Tesla against a Lidar equipped car in various conditions and observing if they would crash into a wall of boxes. The Tesla failed miserably. The Tesla also disengaged autopilot a split second before collision which people speculate is so the company can pretend the driver was in control and caused the crash.

The only reason this debate is even happening is because Tesla likes to cut corners and pretend it is innovation - "oh we don't need radar any more because we have cameras!". It's a convenient excuse other automakers will use too if given a chance. It would require somebody like the EU to mandate autonomous vehicle safety must be by all reasonable means, and all makers expose granular safety data for this BS to be exposed.

You're kidding I hope. LinkedIn is just a really shitty social media network and has its equivalent of blueticks where assholes and grifters can pay money to elevate their stupid opinions to the top of feeds. If there is any political slant to this crap it is to the right, but it does not follow that slop should be allowed to make things even worse.
