Tesla declared its plan to implement a camera-only autopilot method around a year ago. This presumption generated several thought-provoking queries in the technology field.

The main reason for this is that the most advanced autonomous cars use LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging), and camera vision as their principal sensors to gather data about their environs and base judgments on them.

To add a sense of redundancy and trustworthiness to the sensor data, many sensors are typically needed.

The finest visual representation of the environment around the vehicle is provided by camera sensors, but RADARs and LIDARs are thought to be more durable and dependable at obtaining range and detection information.

There have been various attempts in recent years to simply use camera sensors to gather accurate depth data. With the use of epipolar geometry, depth information is either derived from monocular images (static or sequential) or stereo images .
