On top that, most LIDAR units I’ve seen have been quite bulky which would make designing a sexy looking vehicle around it near impossible. One of Tesla’s goals and main selling points is making “normal” looking cars instead of space bugs and in its present state, LIDAR integration would go against that.

- darkpuma 8y agoPutting form before function is almost never a good idea. If they actually got ugly Level 5 automation to work, it would sell. Period. And it would sell well enough to likely change public perception of what looks good and what looks ugly. Changes in technology causing changes in fashion is well documented.
