Every other car uses LIDAR and Elon thinks he’s such a forward thinker for shunning it. So dumb
His argument makes sense. Human vision is not too different from just a camera. I see the argument for lidar but it can also be a bit more expensive to accomplish the same task. I'm open to listening to your argument as to why lidar technology would be a better path for self driving cars.
Think of that Coyote and the roadrunner cartoon. If there's a graffiti that looks like a tunnel the coyote may run into the tunnel based on vision alone, but a secondary sensor will help telling that there's a wall.
Irl, If the vision failed to recognize that there's something on the road, at least a secondary sensor will protest that there's something on the road.
You can also test driving in direct sunlight without sunglasses or the suncover. You get notifications and beeping noises whenever the sun hits them directly, making the lane assist (I refuse to call it autopilot) quite irrational in most weather... It's actually worse for me than driving in cold weather.
