ok, but a care is a few meters wide, isn't that enough for driving depth perception similar to humans

The depths you are trying to estimate are to the other cars, people, turnings, obstacles, etc. Could be 100m away or more on the highway.

  • ok, but the point trying to be made is based on human's depth perception, but a car's basic limitation is the width of the vehicle, so there's missing information if you're trying to figure out if a car can use cameras to do what human eyes/brains do.

    • The width of your own vehicle is (pretty much) a constant, and trivial to know. Ford F150 is ~79.9 inches. Done. No sensors needed.

      All the shit out there in the world is another story.
