- makeworld 4y agoOh man, they're not using lidar? I had no idea, that's crazy they're just putting cars on the road just cameras and AI. Jeez.
- charles_kaw 4y agothey even removed front facing radar a few years back, to save on cost
- thedevelopnik 4y agoElon thinks that because humans can do all this with two eyes his cars should be able to do it with just cameras. Literal truth.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoI mean, what are eyes except constantly refocusing cameras with changeable fields of view, light intake, quick focus backed by a brain that can take action on what is seen even before you actually visualise it? To Musk and his goblins, that's basically just cameras. But it's okay, people keep assuring me he's a great engineer. Or a complete fucking sociopath that's lied his way to success but hey

- AlexandrB 4y agoSeems like another example of Moravec's paradox[1]. The higher order decisions involved in driving seem hard because we're conscious of them. But our visual system is assumed to be "just two cameras" because we have no conscious awareness of what's going on when we create an internal representation of our surroundings using our eyes.

- mensetmanusman 4y agoLiDAR breaks from bright signage reflection and water droplets on sensor covers… every tech has challenges: look at all the LiDAR vehicles that have had accidents.
- LightG 4y agoPersonally, the problem is more fundamental. You can see the tram on the screen so the Tesla is aware of it. It just f@cked up the response to it. Lidar wouldn't solve that.
