- onlyrealcuzzo 1y agoNot all LIDARs are equal. Just because BYD is spending $140 on a LIDAR system does not mean it's the same quality as the Waymo system reported to cost $75k almost a decade ago, or, especially, the same quality as the ones in use today. They might be! But I doubt it. I don't know enough about Tesla's cameras, but it's not implausible to think there are LIDARs of low enough quality that you'd be better off with a good quality camera for your sensor. Again, I doubt this is the case with BYDs cameras. But it's still worth pointing out, I think. My point is, BYD's LIDAR system costing $x is only one small part of the conversation.
- lobsterthief 1y agoI would say a $140 LIDAR system that’s currently being used in production cars [somewhere] is better than a $0 non-existent LIDAR system. Pair a cheap LIDAR system with some nice cameras and perhaps you can make up much of the difference in software.
