Neural networks can certainly make a point cloud with a single 2d image. The more photos the better
How does this relate to Tesla? The neural network is going to in many cases avoid accidents that humans won't. It might miss something like a poorly strapped down object that is about to fall out, but it will see unsteady driving that humans miss. We will die differently but most importantly LESS OFTEN when the networks are driving us.
Of course the title is misleading. 'Algorithm' implies a human figured out how to code for this. Reality? It is a neural network and the creator of the neural network has no ducking idea how it works. It would take a lot of work to figure out what the neural network is listening for. That is the magic of neural networks and some data sets, patterns that humans would not even search for are detected. Same with heart defect detection through audio signals.Somewhat off topic, but this is pretty neat: Algorithm spots 'Covid cough' inaudible to humans
