>Tesla's system doesn't have enough sensors. Musk forced his engineers to try to do this almost entirely with vision processing, and that was a terrible decision. Vision processing isn't that good yet. Everybody else uses LIDAR.
I think I agree with this, but is LIDAR expected to work in the rain?
- tunaelf 9y agoI think this is the wrong question to be asking. Instead ask: "In good weather, can LIDAR-less systems match the safety of LIDAR?" The answer is "not yet" Until LIDAR-less systems can match the safety of LIDAR they will simply be banned from the roads, or limited to certain situations such as rainy weather. Regulators, politicians and society will not allow Tesla to operate a system which in good weather has a much higher accident rate than is necessary - and they will not accept "cost reasons" as a valid excuse for not installing a LIDAR. Laws are frequently named after a single child who died.
