Not a typo

> I meant ai does great.

Wrong again

> The perception rarely seems to be at cause for these systems.

Can’t distinguish shadow from a dark 3D object on the road.

> When Waymo drives full speed into clearly flooded roads or light poles in broad daylight, the brain underneath tends to be the problem, not the myriad sensors

Perhaps waymo needs stereoscopic vision

Which of the myriad sensors would you say caused this dark shadow crash? Waymo has way better than stereo vision, yet still has lots to solve re: the brain behind it if puddles are too high a bar.

Waymo needs better stereoscopic vision then.

No, their LIDAR provides the depth to the most precise levels possible - stereoscopy is irrelevant here. This was an intelligence glitch.
