    Automated systems have existed for a long time that can react much faster than visual stimulation.

    Even our own body does this to prevent us from getting burned. If you touch something hot your pain receptors fire off much fast than it would take for you to see your hand getting burned. You pull away your hand quickly, which is another body reaction, preventing further injury.

    We should be using multiple system just like the human body does to prevent injury. Any system we design me should also be redundant just like the human body as well. We should not be relying solely on vision for autonomous vehicles.

      Yes. The human body should not be the standard when we could equip a machine with a far more robust view of the world with little difficulty.

      Sticking with human features (camera-based vision, bipedal locomotion, etc.) is remarkably dumb. (Elon’s m.o.)
