That paper says nothing of the sort. Did you even read it ?

The numbers actually show pseudo-LiDAR being worse in general and significantly worse at longer distances.

I read it. Did you?

"it is plausible that image-based 3D object detection for autonomous vehicle will become a reality in the near future."

You do know that we have 3D object detection today. In fact we've had it for a few years now.

The issue isn't whether it works or not. The issue is whether you need LiDAR in the mix as well. And your paper says unequivocally that the answer is "yes we do".
