I’d argue Waymo is not a competitor and offers no ADAS. They operate autonomous vehicles in confined areas afaik. Driving in traffic, interacting with humans is a different story.
- Closi 6y agoWell full automatic driving is more advanced than driver assistance, and Tesla is claiming that the current system will be scaled to full autonomous driving which is what the original article is about. The waymo car is the only actively-used car with Lidar anyway as far as I’m aware, so if you exclude Waymo then your statement is self fulfilling no matter how good or bad Tesla’s ADAS is!
- HellDunkel 6y agoThe point i wanted to express is that although LIDAR could be an improvement it is not per se the „way to go“ with ADAS today. Please consider that some, eg Audi, offer ADAS using lidar and it is not nearly as capeable as Teslas system. Costs matter. I am very certain that Waymo has no autonomous vehicle today that mist people would be ok to go around their neighbourhood driverless. „Full autonomy“- socially acceptable- does not exist today. Whether it can be done, with or without Lidar, remains to be seen.
