Not disputing the feasibility of light field imaging. That approach really doesn't do anything for the use case the camera Nikon/Mitsubishi are showcasing. Light field cameras have low resolution for their sensor sizes, lower optical efficiency, are expensive to manufacture, require processing that would make this a bad fit for the near-realtime ADAS functions you need for automotive machine vision, and have no advantage when it comes to favoring one part of the image in terms of angular resolution.

Like, why even mention them?
