Looking at the picture of the test vehicle in that article, I can't imagine what that sensor suite costs. It looks like it costs more than the car itself. Cruise acquired Strobe last year, a maker of lidar chips, and claimed the acquisition would help them "reduce sensor costs by up to 99%." There would have to be a lot of zeros in the current price for that to be anywhere close to achievable. > GM bought Cruise in 2016 for $1 billion to jump-start its self-driving efforts. The company has said it plans to deploy its fully driverless cars, without steering wheel or pedals, for commercial ride-hailing use as early as 2019. Cruise just raised at a post-money valuation of $19 billion and wants to ship cars without steering wheel or pedals for commercial ride-hailing this year. Elon & TSLA is looking smarter, and saner, by the minute.
