The problem with wile e coyote comparisons is that a lot of humans would also crash into a wall that was painted to look like it wasn't a wall. It's much more meaningful to find mistakes that a human wouldn't make.

    I don't like this either as it seems to lead people to overestimate the capability of lidar and radar systems (and radar is worse than useless. False positives are dangerous too).

    There is NO automated system on the road that is proven. Waymos and shit will also end up killing people. Please, people, don't do their marketing for them. The road system and cars are a lethal system with dangerous tradeoffs by design.

    no system is perfect. I personally wouldn't trust any autonomous vehicle. I don't think it can be made reliable enough in the chaotic environment they are supposed to operate in.

    But some systems are less bad than others. Lidar has other limitations, but it would have detected that it's getting closer to "something solid". Ideally both (and more), but cameras only is the stupidest way to do it bar none, imo
