  They also really need additional sensors. Elon is keep saying that self driving cars only need cameras. But cameras can be blinded or also make mistakes. Hence good self driving cars should atleast have sonar.

    As a RADAR guy I have to say they need RADAR, but I might be biased. I suppose LIDAR would be nice too. There’s something called sensor fusion where you combine the measurements of different sensors, ideally using different technologies to get better measurements.

      Fun fact: horseshoe crabs have like nine different types of eyes. Even that tail is one big photoreceptor. Sensor fusion is new technology - it’s only been around for 400 million years.

  I like that homeboy was just like “Have a safe ride” and dude responds " we will" or some shit. Like you just stuck us in the middle of an intersection making an illegal turn after missing where to pick us up by a block and we’ve been in the car for less than a minute. Don’t tell us to have a safe trip, promise me we are going to get somewhere safely at that point.

    At least he didn’t promise that the ride brings you to a better place.
