      I get what you’re referencing (lack of radar, lidar etc.), but objectively a camera is a sensor in the exact same way as the others, that’s not even up for discussion.

        It’s a sensor relying on image recognition, which is only as reliable as the image recognition software. The more clever software tries to be, the more potential failure states that exist.

          Yes that is true all sensor input is only as good as the algorithm interpreting it. But that doesn’t change the fact that a camera is just as much a sensor as a lidar or radar, which is what I stated.

            Yes, a camera is technically a sensor. Just not one that can tell you a distance to an object. And that capability is pretty useful to not have a car drive through a solid garage door.
