  Note that part of the discussion is we shouldn’t settle for human limitations when we don’t have to. Notably things like LIDAR are considered to give these systems superhuman vision. However, Tesla said ‘eyes are good enough for folks, so just cameras’.

  The rest of the industry said LIDAR is important and focus on trying to make it more practical.

    Volvo is using LIDAR. I trust them way more than Tesla when it comes to something pertaining to safety.

  Isn’t Elon advertising AI as orders of magnitudes better reaction time and much less error prone than a human though…

    Remember when they removed ultrasonic and radar sensors in favor of “Tesla Vision”? That decision demonstrably cost people their lives and yet older, proven tech continues to be eschewed in favor of the cutting edge new shiny.

    I’m all for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancements in technology and AI in its many forms, but those of us that don’t buy Teslas never signed up to volunteer our lives as training data for FSD.

  I think the LIDAR and other sensors are supposed to be IR and see in the dark.

    Sensors that the Tesla famously doesn’t have (afaik, didn’t check) because Elon is a dumbass.

    Too bad Tesla’s don’t have that. Just cameras and machine learning.

      The cameras alone should be able to see IR. There’s filters over most digital cameras to prevent that, but no reason to do it here.

      Tesla is just advertising technology that isn’t ready, and people are dying as a result.

        And its also always to have multiple layers of defence. Its straight up stupid to remove the redundancy in safety measures because you trust your tech.

        For any camera to see IR, there must be IR light there to be seen. LIDAR and proximity sensors emit their own light, but TIL tesla doesn’t have any… Great tech…my 300€ vacuum bot has LIDAR… Ofc it doesn’t go 130KM/h in the dark, but I was 99.99% sure any self-driving car had the bare minimum of sensors, but I guess Tesla isn’t one of them.

    Yeah, lidar and radar don’t need an external light source to work

  reading this, I am scared how dulled I have become to the danger posed from my 45 minute daily commute back from work. 65 kilometer driving into the black at 100km/h

  Didn’t stop afterwards, didn’t even attempt to brake

  Why is anyone going full speed in the dark? Let alone an unsafe self driving car.
