01 ·Paper Deep-Dives·FREE·13 min read When Proxies Stop Being Good Enough — Reading August 2026's Eight Autonomous Driving Papers Together A cross-cutting read of eight autonomous-driving arXiv papers from late August 2026. Three groups independently stop measuring safety in expectation, two add an observation channel outside the ego vehicle's own history, and two genuinely don't fit the story. 02 ·CNNs & Image Recognition·FREE·9 min read The Autonomous Driving Perception Stack from Scratch — What Cameras and LiDAR Each Bring to the Table How a self-driving car figures out what is around it, starting from sensor physics. We cover the complementary strengths of cameras and LiDAR, the bird's-eye-view grid where all sensors meet, occupancy grids grown by Bayesian updates, and the tug-of-war between safety requirements and compute budgets — no prior knowledge assumed.
