Theorizing and thinking out loud:
More and better cameras and sensors are good, but why be limited to just your own car's sensors?
Cars should share camera and sensor data with each other, effectively allowing cars to see through walls and around corners. Even parked cars can contribute to the collective, keeping track of things and broadcasting data.
Some random thoughts:
1. Maybe it doesn't have to be raw sensor data, but objects, size, position, vector, etc that gets broadcast
2. Latency could be a problem - Tesla servers would have to collect the data, figure out which other cars are nearby, and send to just those cars. If this takes too long it may not be useful.
3. Processing becomes much more complex - software, processing speed, decision making and reaction time may be affected
Good idea? Feasible?
Thanks
