Who was it that said (and I'm paraphrasing) - "Self-driving is easy, you could build an AI yourself that will work 90% of the time. It's writing an AI that works 100% of the time that's difficult".
He built a car that drove cross country.
It's not "cameras vs. LADAR", it's about software that needs to work flawlessly.
I love "Lean" development process, and "just get it out there", but I wouldn't write banking software that way.
Or autopilots for that matter. A blatant disregard for human lives.
- legohead 6y ago100% is impossible. It's how many 9s are you willing to accept. And LIDAR would add a nine or two, but Musk is just being stubborn.
- justapassenger 6y agoHe's stubborn, but he also realistically I don't they have any choice. Retrofitting all the cars they sold with FSD, with set of LIDAR sensors (or refunding those purchases) would likely bankrupt the company. Buying a car with FSD HW years before we even know what's needed to get FSD, is like buying a PC, spec'ed to run Duke Nukem Forever, in 1997.
- gonesilent 6y agoAs a 5 day new Tesla driver playing with auto pilot you can just feel the thing is over worked. The road I live on HWY 36 in California was a joke on autopilot. Car can't do it has to slow well below speed limit. Every other turn it tries to drive off the road and gives up steering. Also roads with cracks that are black with pavement sealer confuse the car to no end. The car is color blind and the vision system gives it no time to react.
