Image processing is expensive

and you're suggesting to use LIDAR which is more expensive and power hungry as a replacement for those computations?

I meant the computations are expensive, i.e. slow to perform even with good processors. When you need to do something millions of times, anything to make that faster helps with the overall safety of the system.
