nobody understands this. this has been a solved problem for some time now.Can someone explain why the need for a neural net for rain-sensing wipers? I don't understand. Seems like an overengineering feat to me?

The alternative would’ve been to add a rain sensor which they removed from AP2. I presume a couple bucks times the volume of AP2 cars adds up, or they didn’t want to deal with the extra footprint or wiring that such a sensor needs.Can someone explain why the need for a neural net for rain-sensing wipers?

Since they're not using rain sensors, the input data is purely what comes from the camera(s). Interpreting what's coming in on the camera on the fly and using an algorithm in software to determine what is rain and how much rain there is and how much wiping to do requires processing power. Creating a neural net that has all that algorithm worked out in advance is much much much more complex and requires far more computing power, however, running the neural network after it has been generated uses a LOT less CPU power than running an algorithm on the fly which means the CPU power in the car is never taxed by this apparently simple task.Can someone explain why the need for a neural net for rain-sensing wipers?

i think his question is, why aren't they using rain sensors?Since they're not using rain sensors, the input data is purely what comes from the camera(s).

That aspect of the question has already been answered by others.i think his question is, why aren't they using rain sensors?
you'll have to link us bc I have no clue either.That aspect of the question has already been answered by others.

Corporate greed combined with the “eh we can solve anything with a neural net” sentiment probably explains it.
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. The reason has been postulated by others then. Cost cutting, corporate greed, a couple of bucks in sensors per car, "we can solve anything" mentality, overconfidence, arrogance etc.you'll have to link us bc I have no clue either.
Need Video. PLEEEEAAASSSSEEE!!
It's the first sign of progress in an otherwise wasteland in terms of promised features in a long time.I don't get it. What's with the fascination of rain sensing wiper. They can put their resources on things that are way cooler and better, this is a number 1 requested feature? Really? Is this something to make the people who upgraded from AP1 or AP2 happy?

This is not a new feature like “Easy Entry”I don't get it. What's with the fascination of rain sensing wiper. They can put their resources on things that are way cooler and better, this is a number 1 requested feature? Really? Is this something to make the people who upgraded from AP1 or AP2 happy?
It’s also the first sign that the AP2 ECU can handle more than 2 camera feeds or do more than just lane keeping and adaptive cruise control.It's the first sign of progress in an otherwise wasteland in terms of promised features in a long time.
