Elon/Tesla have a vested interest in making sure LIDAR isn't required by law for self-driving vehicles. In addition, his NN-camera-powered-cars are still trying to drive themselves into highway barriers.
- Robotbeat 8y agoRequiring a specific technical solution with problems of its own by law is a wet dream for whoever holds the IP to that technical solution. Now accusing others of having a vested interest in MAYBE opposing this hypothetical law that no one has actually proposed is just gas-lighting and possibly projection.
- notfromhere 8y agoLiDAR means he'd have to retrofit vehicles, given how he promised every purchaser that their cars are self-driving ready. LiDAR literally will cost him money, so yeah, that's a conflict.
- agumonkey 8y agoYeah but back to its point, he argued lidar was not optimal for "computer vision", do you think it has limits that would be shadowed by multi camera NN analysis ? That he's doing bad PR is another point (that we can discuss also but is harder to comment on objectively)
- manicdee 8y agoDo you believe lidar is so necessary that it must be mandated by law?
