The problem comes in when you go from level 3 to level 4 (or 5). At level 3, you can get away with less processing power and eliminate the need for redundancy, because the driver is always supposed to be able to take over. However, once you get to level 4, you need redundancy to handle intermittent sensor failure as well as significantly more processing to parse complex or unplanned scenarios and better resolve sensor ambiguities.I read that article. The problem was actually the timing. So the way Tesla is trying to do autonomous driving is by analyzing the images obtained via camera. When cameras obtain the pictures around the vehicle it had to stitch the images together to create a whole scene, analyzing and then decide. By the time the stitching is done and the cpu decides on a course of action the images have changed. Its a very difficult process due to timing and when you are dealing with emergency situations every ms counts.
