Hmm... Not sure if i agree with Keller here. I don't think he gets how hard image processing really is... Understanding the scene like Lex said.. It's defo not easy otherwise waymo and mobileye would have solved autonomous driving like 2 years ago given their research budgets.<br>So in short, Keller is a douche lol<br><br>Actually he's not. He's obviously way more accomplished than I can ever dream to be!,(reply>), The image processing is <i>basically</i> solved.  You learn how to do that kind of thing when you're building your first convolutional neural network -- more things need more layers, &amp; maybe more code to dynamically implement layers, but it's not anything crazy or cutting edge anymore.<br><br>The difficulty these days is <i>mostly</i> in the area of "Okay, we've got the image data in a way that our algorithm can understand... What now?"  That's the thing you've really got to nail if you want safety.  <i>That's</i> what makes driving a car hard for a machine -- because 99% good isn't good enough.
