- darkpuma 8y agoTesla's marketing team wants people buying cars to believe their Tesla will support Level 5 automation sometime within the usable lifespan of that car. They're not bold enough to claim it's a near future inevitability, but they're leaving that implied possibility open to get consumers excited about it. Google/Waymo has obviously been throwing a ton of resources at nailing computer vision, their recaptcha that's plainly training such a system is doubtlessly just the publicly visible tip of an iceberg. Yet they're still investing into LIDAR as well. If Google/Waymo is bearish on a pure CV solution, I don't see any justification for Tesla thinking they can do it. Not in any near future. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/01/googles-waymo-invests-in-lidar-technology-cuts-costs-by-90-percent/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/01/googles-waymo-invests-i...
