29 0 ReplyIf by "easy" you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.

Now we're teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.
