Toyota unit joins Tesla in developing self-driving technology with low-cost cameras

Toyota unit Woven Planet says it is able to use low-cost cameras to collect data and effectively train its self-driving system, a ‘breakthrough’ that it hopes will help drive down costs and scale up the technology

Woven Planet told Reuters it is able to use low-cost cameras to collect data and effectively train its self-driving system, a “breakthrough” that it hopes will help drive down costs and scale up the technology.

It said using a majority of data coming from low-cost cameras increased its system’s performance to a level similar to when the system was trained exclusively on high-cost sensor data.
