Nah, that was cost.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 3y agoWhy include a (much more expensive) FSD computer in every Tesla then, if it was just a cost-saving measure and radar is actually needed for self-driving? FSD works better today with vision only than any other solution with vison+radar.
- p_l 3y agoThe computer was needed anyway to get sensor fusion and reasoning about environment around, so it's not something that was "added" or "more expensive". Also, their original solution did sensor fusion with LIDAR, but the vendor find out and blew a gasket - because the LIDAR sensors weren't designed for safety-critical operation and to my understanding became a potential liability for the maker if they continued to supply them for incorrect use knowingly.

When did Tesla have LIDAR?
- p_l 3y agoMy bad, it was RADAR, not LIDAR, with Musk explicitly saying how it was better because unlike optical systems it wasn't blocked by bad weather so much. I unfortunately don't have link about supplier dropping them - I do recall it was a bit of a scandal at the time but it quickly got overshadowed with other issues and well, FSD not working right was "business as usual"
- iknowstuff 3y agoWrong. You’re thinking of tesla dropping mobileye back in like 2014. Nothing to do with ditching radar last year
- iknowstuff 3y agoCompletely incorrect and made up.
- rangestransform 3y agoIIRC from greentheonly’s twitter, there’s evidence of a brief experiment to do early fusion of vision and radar in the perception model
