A former NASA engineer’s YouTube experiment aimed to test self-driving cars’ response to unexpected obstacles, including a massive wall painted like the road ahead. The results showed Tesla’s Autopilot struggling in several tests, while an unnamed LiDAR system outperformed it every time. This highlights the trade-off between using computer vision versus sensors like LiDAR in autonomous vehicles.
