Lucas and Luna dig into a 2025 case from a German automotive tier-1 supplier that lost an entire shift because a robot mistook a reflection for a part. They unpack the physics — dynamic range limits, polarized lighting retrofits, and the gap between lab benchmarks and factory floors. The episode centers on one number: the 125-decibel threshold that separates good cameras from great ones. Specific, concrete, and grounded in real…
