It’s asinine that Tesla is trying to do full self driving without actually using some sort of LiDAR. Using video/photos to judge distance is just unreliable and stupid.
but it’s MUCH cheaper, so keeping with every other shitty idea he’s ever had, Musk was REALLY banking on Tesla engineers to make a crazy breakthrough so he could reap billions in reward.
It worked at SpaceX because of a perfect concoction of all the best rocket scientists and engineers wanting to work at SpaceX, since it was one of the only space programs not owned by a government and could push the boundaries, the technology being possible and wildly practical to implement, and massive government subsidies.
Tesla is in the car market, which is notoriously competitive and, while they do have massive government subsidies, they don’t have the best engineers and musk’s insistence that they “figure out” how to shove autonomous driving into a medium that simply doesn’t provide enough information drives even the better engineers away.
I really wish my government would stop funding his ego and let his fantasy projects die already.
The tech has gotten so cheap now that there is no reason to skimp out on it.
We talk about a company who got rid of ultrasound sensors for make the car reverse parks.
All depend how powerful is the computer managing the datas. A human brain does the job by example.
Humans don’t have the best track record when it comes to safe driving, might not be the best idea to imitate them when there is better tech around.
But how many of those bad records are due to their eyes ?
Most causes of those bad records are bad decisions( checking phone, speeding, cutting lanes, etc). It is rarely due to bad sight.
The issue with lidar is bad weather. If it rains, or is foggy, it doesn’t work, or give weird result.
Apparently there is some radar which can see through bad weather.
