When I found out teslas don't have LiDAR I nearly shat myself.
Yeah, fun stuff happens when the AI tries to interpret vision of sunlight shining straight into the lens.
Don't you know those things cost money!?
Sadly cost cutting MBAs seldom concern themselves with silly things like function or necessity.
That wasn't an educated MBA who cut them it was a stupid CEO who felt it was an unnecessary crutch (his words).
I assure you he was advised what to cut by an MBA he hired.
Have you seen how much these cars cost? For that amount of money it should personally serve me breakfast in bed, let alone having a scanner
Should is carrying a large load there.
They did but then Musk had the genius idea to stop installing them. I still have it in my older model but they changed the software not to use them anymore. Like I said, genius....
Which car do you have that has LiDAR in it? Maybe you’re thinking of RADAR which is different.
Oh, you're right, it's radar, sorry.
For an autonomous vehicle without radars or LiDAR they do still drive pretty darn well. AI DRIVR makes really good videos about FSD on YouTube and love it or hate it, it's quite impressive how well it does despite the the lack of these sensors.
That's a bit like saying "For an old hound dog with only two legs left he is running pretty darn fast"... :-)
