Clickbaiting headline. Hotz and Levandowski are also experts and they agree with Musk.
More truthful headline: Some experts say, but then again other experts say.
- Analemma_ 7y agoHotz isn’t an expert, he’s a loudmouth tinkerer who never produced anything working before NHTSA shut him down. I’ve never heard Levandowski comment on the long-term necessity of lidar, but actions speak louder than words: Otto/Uber definitely used lidar (actually, the entire lawsuit with Waymo was over their lidar tech. Why would Levandowski have risked everything stealing it if he didn’t think it was necessary?) Elon really is alone in claiming that lidar isn’t needed for self-driving.
- sabertoothed 7y agoYou seem very angry for some reason that I do not understand. Your emotional response is not backed up by facts. Hotz can certainly be considered an expert as founder and president of commai.ai. Whether he is a loudmouth or not is less relevant. The remark by Levandowski can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNgEG5rCav4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNgEG5rCav4 Whether these guys are ethical etc. is not of interest for this question. > Elon really is alone in claiming that lidar isn’t needed for self-driving. No, precisely not.
