Comment on Public trust in AI is sinking across the board
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months agoTesla FSD is actually a really bad analogy because it was never actually equivalent to what was being proposed. Critically it didn’t involve LiDAR, so it was always going to be kind of bad. Comparing FSD to self-driving cars is a bit like comparing an AOL chatbot to an LLM

Have you actually watched any videos of the new entirely AI based version 12 in action?

Not that that has anything really to do with my actual point which is that it still doesn’t have LiDAR and it still doesn’t really work.
I’m not really talking about self-driving I’m just pointing out it’s a bad analogy.

I don’t know what lidar has anything to do with any of it or why autonomous driving is a bad example. It’s an AI system and that’s what we’re talking about here.

LIDAR is crucial for self-driving systems to accurately map their surroundings, including things like “how close is this thing to my car” and “is there something behind this obstruction.” The very first Teslas with FSD (and every other self-driving car) used LIDAR, but then Tesla switched to a camera-only FSD implementation as a cost saving measure, which is way less accurate–it’s insanely difficult to accurately map your immediate surroundings bases solely on 2D images.
