Waymo's Warning Shot Across the Bow of Autonomous Driving Ambition Waymo, the self driving car subsidiary of Alphabet, has fired a warning shot at Tesla, questioning the effectiveness of camera only systems in achieving full autonomy.
In a blog post outlining "10 AI lessons from 200+ million miles of fully autonomous driving," Waymo's Vice President of Onboard Software, Srikanth Thirumalai, emphasized that cameras are insufficient for fully autonomous driving.
The debate over whether cameras alone can solve the complex problem of full autonomy has been ongoing for years.
