Ignoring Elon Musk, I have been continuously impressed with Andrej Karpathy's work on autopilot. The amount that the Tesla Autopilot engineering team has accomplished is really impressive, and I don't think it's worth giving up hope just yet. I wouldn't anticipate Tesla shipping with worldwide FSD capability in the next 10 years, but I think within 20 to 40 years, this approach to self driving cars will be the most reliable and flexible, assuming development continues. In terms of delivering a product, many LIDAR based self driving solutions will absolutely beat a fully AI driven design to market. However, the potential for adaptability in the Computer Vision approach is much greater than current alternatives. Overall, I don't think it's worth dismissing Tesla entirely, but it's also important to keep in mind the long timeline for the development of adaquate computer vision technologies.
