What do you mean by proportion? They are different data sources, and their usage is determined by system design.

eg A driving decision system needs to know object distances AND traffic light colours. It doesn't particularly need to know the source of either. You could have a camera-only system that accurately determines colour and fuzzy-determines distance. Or you could have a LIDAR-only system that accurately determines distance and fuzzy-determines colour.

Or you use both, get accurate LIDAR-distance and accurate camera-colour and skip all the fuzzy-determination steps. Or keep the fuzzy stuff and build a layer of measurement-agreement for redundancy.

So then the question becomes, what's your proportion when deciding whether to stop at a traffic light? Is it mostly light colour or mostly distance to other objects? Or 50/50?

I'd say it's 100/100.



Sounds like a solved problem and you can buy a solution with a perfect accuracy?


I don't read the previous comment as either "you can buy" nor "perfect accuracy".

Like them, I don't understand what you're asking by "proportion". Bits/second? Sensor modules/vehicle? Features detected by the AI?


Is there a point you're trying to make?

Because it really feels like you're just JAQing off, either to come to some "gotcha" moment or a pseudo-intellectual exercise. In either case, the questions feel bad faith.


Who said that?
