      That lidar systems are doomed to failure.

      Super long term when machine vision works very well he’s right. The question is how long will that take. 5 years? 20 years? 40 years?

        Maybe he should have invested in more AI instead of buying Twitter to ban people.

        Anecdotally, I’ve been on the full-vision stack for several months now and it’s significantly better at detecting pedestrians and motorcycles. I’ve also had no phantom braking events since I got into the beta, which is just as important to me. Just last night I had it drive me 10 miles home on Pennsylvania back roads and I didn’t have to touch the wheel until it got to my house.

        That said, I think having a detailed 3D map of the environment directly out of the sensors is far more useful than trying to generate one from video, but I also don’t see a reason not to do both. I’m pretty sure they use Lidar to train the FSD model, too.
