It is mostly a hardware problem. Tesla's can't do FSD with current hardware because there aren't redundant cameras in each direction. One camera gets mud on it and your car runs itself into oncoming traffic. (It does that anyway right now, but even if software bugs are fixed this is still intractable).
A real solution has to be capable of cleaning all cameras (probably faster than a windshield wiper would), because the distortions caused by even normal rain are hellish to train an AI to handle.
- xnx 6y agoTesla would be lucky if the extent of its challenges were having enough cameras pointing in the right direction. Tesla handicapped itself by only developing its driving systems with cameras and not lidar.
- ecpottinger 6y agoRight, because people have LIDAR installed already.
- ErikVandeWater 6y agoI don't disagree. But since adding more cameras to a car that already has cameras is a much more intuitive extension for Tesla to select, I used that as an example.
