And F-35s are really fast. By the time you recognize and can target it, it’ll fly behind a cloud or something. So not only do you need to make a really fast rocket w/ vision-based AI integrated, it also needs to be able to detect said plane at great distances, as well as maneuver well enough to see it as it exits clouds and whatnot. That’s a lot more complicated than slapping radar on something with heat tracking at close distances.
Yeah, the “lidar is useless” guy whose cars are consistently crashing into things when visibility is bad is telling us that he can do the same thing with missile targeting systems… Sounds like a great idea
His fucking obsession with computer vision. He’s so convinced he’s right he forgot that clouds exist… and his cars plow straight into obstacles.
Also night
Wouldn’t matter for IR vision, which the F-35 already has.
And that a plane at altitude is too small for wide field cameras which means scanning the sky with narrow fov detectors.

this has existed for over 2 decades now btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroFIRST_PIRATE

My friend bought a red car specifically so it could be seen by Tesla’s cameras.
I have bad news for him. They can’t see firetrucks reliably.
