There is very little reason to believe Tesla will be best let alone first when it comes to self driving technology. I personally feel they are backing the wrong technology and will ultimately be unsuccessful without LIDAR sensors like Waymo and other startups and the beta testers with current model Teslas are going to ultimately end up disappointed.
I don't own a car currently (nor any Tesla stock) so I'm happy to wait and see if I'm wrong or right.
- vardump 5y agoTesla can already generate a pretty good "lidar point cloud" out of just camera input. But we'll see.
- jsight 5y agoOne issue with Tesla's approach is that they do not have enough cameras to do this at every angle. Its going to be especially tough in parking lots, as they have very poor coverage of the road directly beneath them. Mobileye's camera based point cloud approach appears to be much more robust.
- vardump 5y agoWhy would the car need to see the road directly beneath while parking? Because of positional error (drift) or what? It should know the painted markings from earlier frames. Good point though. I'd like Tesla to add more cameras.
