That's bull. Every other company working on fully autonomous driving is using Lidar for obstacle detection, but Tesla's cars have none (only radar and cameras). I see no reason to think their software is any better than anyone else's (in fact I would say Waymo almost certainly ahead of them there).
Why should I have any confidence that they will be able to get better results than anybody else using cheaper hardware?

- makomk 9y agoWaymo can collect full video and sensor data from all the miles its cars drive. Tesla can collect some high-level logs. It's just not the same thing at all.
