  If he demanded it was as safe as possible, he wouldn’t have refused to add lidar or radar capabilities.

      Exactly. Also lidar is important in instances where you need millimeter precision. Its useful for calibrating camera systems in self driving cars but in order to drive safely you don’t need that level of detail about the world around the car. It makes no difference if a car or pedestrian is 72 or 73 inches away.

      For a multi-ton metal projectile that drives itself (a car), you want multiple data sources to draw a consensus from. Relying on one data source is a point of failure, and that’s not acceptable when you have the potential to kill not only the driver but others outside the car.

    I thought the “needs lidar” debate was settled years ago

      Look at you just parroting Musk’s lies. Do you parrot his transphobic bullshit too?

      If your cameras detect something the lidar does not, you trust the cameras

      Yes, but if the lidar sees something the cameras doesn’t, you trust the lidar.

        Actually, no you don’t. Lidar cannot dentify object’s specifically. Tesla does use lidar in their testing/prototype vehicles and they have to find any instances manually where these systems don’t agree. It always falls back to cameras.

        TSLA doesn’t even pay dividends. Appreciate you pointing yourself out as horribly misinformed.

  No he ABSOLUTELY didn’t do that, because it’s very unsafe and he unleashed not only AP but also that total steaming pile that is “FSD”. Which is neither F nor SD.
