Part 5/12:
In contrast, companies like Tesla lean more heavily on camera-based systems that adapt dynamically, but Zoox emphasizes the importance of detailed pre-mapped environments to ensure safety and efficiency.
The discussion touches on the importance of redundancy—multiple sensors, LiDAR, cameras, and advanced algorithms—that provide "multiple points of failure" mitigation similar to how airplane systems operate. This layered approach significantly enhances safety, although skepticism remains about whether these vehicles can operate reliably under all conditions, such as snow or rural terrains.
