To be frank, no one had a crystal ball back then, and stuff could go either way with uncertainty in both hardware and software capabilities. Sure Lidars were better even back then, but the bet was on catching up on them. I hate Elon's

Yep, it's like getting a commoner from the street evaluate a literature PhD in their native language. Sure, both know the language, but the depth difference of a specialist vs a generalist is too large. And neither we can't use AI
