Agree that there are technology overlaps, like sensing systems. But the difficult engineering problems like, mapping, decision making, stop and go interactions with other vehicles, etc. are not going to be solved by iterating ADAS technologies because they are not ADAS problems. Time will tell which of us is correct, I guess, because many of the ARGO people will be going to Ford to work on ADAS technologies.

The leap is really getting all that information from the various ADAS programs, and compiling them to make a correct decision with the AI (which doesn't even exist yet).

Right now, no system can make enough correct decisions with the information for anyone to feel like this is anywhere close to being ready for FSD at any stage, at least publicly (No idea what DARPA looks like with this kind of stuff).
