It's not a problem with lidar according to the article. Everyone except for Tesla works with lidar. So the question is just when the systems are cheap and small enough for everyday use. AI doesn't appear to be the issue here, just the data input.
- sambe 9y agoThe article explicitly states that at least Volvo has a similar warning in their manual.
- dx034 9y agoAvailable cars are not fully self-driving. I think this year only Audi will release one where the car takes full control on motorways. All others require you to remain vigilant. If you sell a self-driving car you can't put warnings like this in the manual since the manufacturer is on the hook if anything happens during self-driving (at least if it was the car's fault).
- tobltobs 9y agoIs Volvo already building lidar sensors into their public available cars?
- Symmetry 9y agoVolvo also relies on just radar and a camera. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_cruise_control_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_cruise_control_syst... I don't expect scanning lidar sensors to become common here until solid state scanning lidars reach mass production.
- taco_emoji 9y agoThe article states that every except Tesla plans to work with lidar, not that they are currently. The technology still needs to be toughened up and made cheaper for it to be viable.
