Comment on New Footage Shows Tesla On Autopilot Crashing Into Police Car After Alerting Driver 150 Times
daikiki@lemmy.world 10 months agoYour relatively ‘dumb’ car probably doesn’t try to gauge distance exclusively by interpreting visual data from cameras.

Wait, the Model X doesn’t have RADAR/LIDAR to supplement the cameras?

No, they were too expensive for Musk

Holy shit… This is worse than I thought

Wanna know what’s even worse? My M3 is equipped with LIDAR, but the functionality has been patched away because they don’t want to develop for it since all their new cars only have cameras… So even though I have what’s in practice a way better system equipped, my lane assist (won’t call it autopilot) is still 100% dependent on the fucking cameras…

The video said the car has radar

IIRC Tesla disabled all of their dedicated hardware sensors in an OTA update, due to these sensors being excluded from new vehicles manufactured during the shortage. The autopilot system is vision only now, despite the engineers best efforts to keep hardware sensors in the vehicles
