It has in fact got a completely new way of looking at the face for
that.

What new way ?

It emits a very large number of IR beams at the face
and records what comes back with the camera.

And what does it use to transmit those IR beams ?

That thing on the top of the phone, often called
the notch because thats what it looks like.

So all phones have this notch do they ?

The iphones that do facial recognition do.

But yuo can;t get facial recognition by just a software update can you.
You needed new and extra hardware this meant a 2nd camera had to be fitted to the iPhone, you clouldn't just download facial recognition onto an old phone.


Apple doesn't seem to have them.

It isnt a physical notch, stupid.

Despite that though, the new iPhones lack one key hardware featu an IR blaster. While Apple has never included an IR blaster on an iPhone

Automatic cars don't need more hardware. They already have dozens of cameras.

You need more than just cameras.

Ok maybe a microphone.

Fully autonomous driving by the model year 2021/2022 with security level 4 or 5 requires the use of multiple redundant sensor systems. Todays systems for semi-autonomous driving use various numbers and designs of radar and camera systems. The design of high-resolution, affordable LIDAR systems with ranges up to 300 m are still in the pre-development stage.

As I've said there are NO driverless cars so no miles have been driven by a driverless car they havent;l even reached that milestone ;-P

Apart from all the ones you keep quoiting as crashing.

Lots of people have driven over a mile without an accident.

Can you do this?

Which sensors are required for autonomous driving from Levels 1 to 5? As already mentioned, there are three main groups of sensor systems: camera-, radar-, and lidar-based systems. Although, for parking, ultrasonic sensors are available today and are widespread, they are of minor importance for autonomous driving. Camera and radar systems are in the Level 1 and 2 vehicles today and are prerequisite for all further levels of automation.
