Exactly! It continually surprises me how prevalent the belief is that autonomous driving can't be achieved without LiDAR, considering its many limitations. In practical scenarios, a vehicle needs to process and react to many dynamic factors: it must drive at appropriate speeds, read road signs accurately, and determine correct lane usage—differentiating between those designated for bicycles, buses, or general traffic. Furthermore, LiDAR struggles significantly in adverse weather conditions, which adds another layer of complexity to its practical application. The list of challenges is extensive. Ultimately, I believe that the resolution to most of these intricate issues lies not in LiDAR, but rather in the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence with Vision.
