In this section, we will compare the requirements of artificial eyes with human eyes. In the following table, we can see the differences between the requirements of artificial eyes for self-driving cars and the capabilities of human eyes:
Self-Driving Car Requirement | Human Eye |
It requires 360-degree coverage around the vehicle. | It has 3D vision for 130 degrees of the field of view, resulting in a blind spot. Humans can turn their heads and bodies to mitigate this. |
It must identify 3D objects that are close to and far from the vehicle. | The human eye's high resolution extends only to the central 50 degrees in the field of view. Outside the central zone, perception drops. |
It must process real-time data. | In the human eye, the frame is good in the central zone and poor in the peripheries. |
It should be able to work well in all lighting and weather conditions. | Human eyes perform well in various lighting conditions,... |
