Sure, but we should aim for superhuman driving capabilities, especially in conditions humans struggle.

  Maybe, but the car can also simply refuse to drive if the conditions are bad.

    Of course it can refuse (and should do so if it's unsafe), but that's not the goal, is it?
    • amelius 2y ago
      Of course, but Lidar is more expensive.
      • KeplerBoy 2y ago
        Meh, i believe Tesla will be wrong on this one. Yes, they will achieve good autonomous cars without lidar and radar, but someone else will build a slightly safer autonomous driving experience with those added modalities. The costs will plummet as the sensors become ubiquitous and eventually they will be required by legislation.

          Yup, I strongly agree with you too. Infact In fact I mentioned that in my interview for the Tesla Autopilot team lol I guess that’s why they didn’t move me forward in the process.

            haha, bold move.

        EV grade LiDAR is now under $1000 a pop. In retail. For car manufacturers it must be under half of that.

      Driving in conditions unsafe for humans is not a current goal of anyone I'm aware of.
