How much of the Tesla failure to catch up with Waymo in self-driving is because of a Elon-dictated limitation on the tools and technologies they can use? Elon threw out a lot of the "R" part of R&D and said "just develop this approach I chose."
The critiques of Tesla self-driving are not saying it isn't a hard problem, they are the:
* Elon acts like it's an easier problem than it is in terms of constraining how his company approaches it
* Elon ALSO acts like it's an easier problem than it is in terms of his claims about when it will be done, in a way that offers potential harm to purchasers and investors
It's hard to say he's "trying his best" to be honest about the timelines when they've slipped this many times.
- aetherspawn 2y agoAre there any consumer cars fitted with LiDAR that also advertise FSD capability? If not: perhaps something like a Waymo fit-out is way outside a consumers normal capability to afford, or even clean and maintain? I’m not convinced either way yet. But I think the need to fulfill the FSD promise to prior buyers is one reason why FSD would need to happen without LiDAR.
