So now, a $1k iPhone comes standard with LiDAR sensors - but Musk still claims they're too expensive and cumbersome to use in self driving vehicles that cost over $40k.
Maybe someone will be eating crow tonight.
- chorsestudios 6y agoThe LIDAR sensors used in vehicles are specialized for a different purpose and are expensive. Its not a very fair comparison to an iPhone LIDAR sensor
- marcinzm 6y agoAmazingly, LiDAR that can roughly map a 10ft room and LiDAR that can accurately map 500ft of road may actually cost different amounts.
- Alupis 6y agoIt's more of, you can now put usable LiDAR sensors in a package as small as a phone, and so cheaply that it doesn't impact the final sale price of said phone... That, and every other AV company is using LiDAR sensors... But, Musk has doubled down, tripled down and more on this. So much so, I doubt he could come to his senses one day without a big PR nightmare - after all, they've been telling folks their car has all the hardware for fully autonomous driving for the past 5+ years.
