Anytime you do something new its a gamble and things will go wrong. Tesla has never been shy of using expensive components for their products. Their entire strategy relies on bringing down battery costs. Musk makes a very good argument for his choice to not use LIDAR - nothing alive on this planet uses it. Every creature navigates our world on vision, even dolphins and bats use sonar as a secondary system. The proof of concept is everywhere, Tesla is just adopting it. And yeah, they're purely level 2 at the moment. I don't agree with their marketing as it does lead some to use it as something more before its ready.

Every creature navigates our world on vision, even dolphins and bats use sonar as a secondary system. The proof of concept is everywhere, Tesla is just adopting it. Nothing alive uses wheels, apart from us. Its a null argument. I don't mind a gamble, what I mind is patent bullshit. If he'd been honest and said "Lidar is great, but its too expensive, and the manufactures are not willing to compromise" and left it at that, it'd be ok. But he didn't He dressed it up in semi prophetic _wank_. Now we have legions of "experts" blindly parroting that ToF sensors are dead and will be never used into the future. I'm willing to be that a Lidar-like Time if Flight sensor will be shoved into a smartphone in the next 4 years. why? because it makes SLAM so much more easy/immersive/better. Which makes AR better, and more useful. Once that happens, all bets are off.

  I'm very happy to be one of those writing positive comments about a hacker because prior to my contacting a hacker, I almost didn't believe it was actually possible to get your credit repaired by one but I'm so glad it worked out and I now know a trusted hacker. He erased my bankruptcy which was the cause of a lot of other problems and raised my credit scores to excellent scores. His address is HACKERPAULMIKE at GMAIL dot COM. TEXT 720- 663 -0651
