I think it's important to distinguish Tesla's autopilot from other manufacturers' because, to my knowledge, Tesla is the only manufacturer attempting to build this kind of advanced driver assistance exclusively using camera technology and computer vision. All other manufacturers use various sensors such as radar, lidar and sonar as well as cameras.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Tesla is the only manufacturer attempting to build this kind of advanced driver assistance exclusively using camera technology and computer vision Tesla is also far less cautious in its marketing. Most reasonable complaints about Tesla's self-driving kit aren't about the kit per se, but the false expectations that encourage drivers to confidently send it where it shouldn't go.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI’m pretty sure no one is using LIDAR for lane keep assist and auto distance adjusted cruise control. I’m not sure if my BMW i4 uses radar for distance adjusted cruise control, definitely doesn’t use it for keeping the lane. But I wonder how often the equivalent fails for other feature equivalent systems since they are becoming very common now, surely some of them are failing. My system warns me each time not to rely on it to avoid crashes, for example. I get that Tesla gets most of the attention, especially since they also offer FSD as well, but surely there are failures from other car manufacturers that are simply not getting the same microscopic attention.
