That’s one way to read it, but in my own experience the “do one thing really well” approach can yield far better results. Meaning, if vision is truly sufficient and you do it really well rather than a bunch of sensors “okay”, that may actually be safer overall. You might get far more focused and practical results from your efforts.

I’m not saying this is definitely true, and at the moment we probably can’t verify it either. I’m just “steel manning” his case, as Lex loves to say.

I think you’re probably correct that the business aspect was a significant factor, but perhaps it wasn’t everything.
