  I recall that people blocked Waymo cars at one point by simply placing orange cones in front of them. Given Teslas only use cameras I wonder if you could just slap a sticker of an orange cone (or just a splash of orange paint) on the hood and confuse it enough that it wouldn’t move…

    Given Teslas only use cameras

    This still blows my mind. My fucking robot vacuum uses LiDAR, and multi-ton vehicles on public roads use cameras? Jesus Christ.

        Actually the excuse Musk uses is that humans only use their eyes to drive, so that’s enough for cars as well.

        Wrong on so many levels…
