Satish, what are the best camera options available on the market now for self-driving vehicles? IMO It's kind of ridiculous that any GMSL camera solutions on the market (e.g. Leopard) are $400 per camera + $1000 for a daughter board of some sort while the equivalent USB 3.0 cameras (same sensors!) cost <$75. Considering it's basically the same USB camera minus the USB hardware and just some serdes chips one would think that GMSL should be cheaper than USB for the same sensors, but it isn't.
I understand economies of scale, but with the number of self-driving cars out there there should be some scaling already.
