Is it necessary for autonomous vehicles to ‘see’ like humans?
Before an autonomous vehicle can reason its way out of trouble on the road it needs to understand what it’s seeing. AV car makers use some combination of three forms of sensors – cameras, laser-based 3-D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and traditional 2-D radar – that work in tandem to sense the road, identify
