Tesla bought over $2M worth of Lidar sensors from Luminar this year
- bhaney 2y agoWow, wonder what they're going to use them for since lidar is a "crutch" and "anyone relying on Lidar is doomed" according to Musk.
- linsomniac 2y agoThis is 2,100 lidar sensors. Not a very large number, the article speculates that it is for company-owned auto drive testbeds. I wonder if they are for the humanoid robots.

- Zigurd 2y agoWaymo's approach to robotaxis is so different in terms of planning, execution, and technology it is hard to imagine Tesla catching up. Tesla also follows a pattern: Grok is not a serious AI effort, the tunnels were just trolling the idea of mass transit, zero solar roofs got installed, etc.
