Hmm, looks like Tesla actually does do sensor fusion, just not with lidar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19803817 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19

I also think that being so cynical about Tesla's motives is pretty short-sighted from an investment perspective. In the long-term, they don't win if they don't get this right.
- catalogia 6y agoTheir radar/ultrasound has awful angular resolution. That's where LIDAR excels. This is why Telsa cars run into trucks parked across the street. Their stereoscopic depth map is shoddy and the radar or ultrasound has awful angular resolution that can't tell the difference between an object parked next to the street and one parked in the middle of the street. > "In the long-term, they don't win if they don't get this right." They've been claiming they're on the cusp of getting it right in the short-term for years. So far, my cynicism has served me well.
