Because it is prohibitively expensive, and you get more data with multiple cameras than with one single lidar

  It didn't prohibit Mercedes: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a39966189/2022-mercedes-benz-eqs-drive-pilot-drive/ https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a39966189/2022-mercedes... https://electrek.co/2022/07/22/mercedes-drive-pilot-review/ https://electrek.co/2022/07/22/mercedes-drive-pilot-review/

    Well yeah, if you double the price of the car you can afford to slap lidar on it. You'll sell fewer cars, however
    • clouddrover 4y ago
      So what's the Model S's and Model X's excuse? They've got the Mercedes EQS price tag but not the equipment.
      • awestroke 4y ago
        Tesla want to offer FSD on their whole lineup, not just in their high end models
        • clouddrover 4y ago
          Ah, I understand. So the Model S and Model X are rip offs. Better off with the Mercedes EQS. Or the Lucid Air for that matter: https://www.carscoops.com/2022/02/lucids-lidar-based-dreamdrive-pro-is-cheaper-than-tesla-fsd-in-the-us-more-expensive-in-canada/ https://www.carscoops.com/2022/02/lucids-lidar-based-dreamdr...

  Not at night

  > you get more data with multiple cameras than with one single lidar Until you're at night in the snow/dirt.
  • hoseja 4y ago
    Yeah, lidar famously deals well with inclement weather and low visibility conditions. Those infrared lasers just punch right through the fog and snowflakes. Lmao.

      Ah you decided to be smart and sarcastic, and inadvertently showed just how limited the tech in these "autonomous" cars is. And that you can't just handwave these problems away.
