@toomuchtodo: For the Google vehicles, LIDAR is the primary sensor. They're not identical in the slightest.

- toomuchtodo 12y ago@agildehaus Elon and Tesla believe that their array of ultrasound sensors, GPS, and front facing camera will be sufficient without the addition of an expensive LIDAR roof mounted scanner. Google has under 100 self-driving vehicles in the field collecting data; Tesla is now making 2500 vehicles/week that will be collecting data. My comment stands. The sensor networks are the same except for the Velodyne LIDAR device. Google has Street View data, Tesla will have a substantial fleet of vehicles collecting data towards improving their autopilot system. Vast amount of mapping data do you no good if you have to test your scenarios in simulated environments (as Google requested they be allowed to do to the California DMV).
