Surely, anyone with deep pockets can replicate it. However, it will most likely take a lot of time since getting city permits tend to be bureaucratic, at least in the US. In the case of MB, they haven't even announced anything (I think

Again with the LIDAR argument... Humans drive using only eyes (computer vision) and having a sense of location (localization/3D maps). Early autonomous test vehicles used LIDARS because camera and compute tech are not at the same level

Elon mentioned on the Q2 conference call yesterday that specific demo is easily doable. He also added that it would be sort of cheating, because that's a very defined route and he prefers it to be able to be much more dynamic. i.e. pic

First, lidar is not a silver bullet and are still very cost prohibitive. Look at Mobileye and Supercruise which are both pretty good and only use radar, cameras and HD maps. Second the camera is for the vision system and comma.ai hooks in t

You seem to have pretty strong opinions without even actually taking the time to look into comma.ai and how it works. All it takes is 5 minutes to know that it actually uses the built-in safety systems in cars like ADAS, LKAS, ACC. Hence, t

Personally, it seems that during the past few years, Google has become so bloated and inefficient that innovation has slowed to a crawl. It's to the point that they are now essentially just like Microsoft during the Steve Ballmer days.

Interesting theory. However, if you look back and watch many of Steve Job's interviews, you will find that he has been a long time proponent of protecting user data. Additionally, he has also stated many times to make sure to inform us

Such a cynical reply, it's worth try and cost virtually nothing... Maybe individuals like yourself deserves a gutted internet that restricts information, and stifles innovation.
