Which is why Elon is giving up on cars, and switching to robots, something else he'll fail at. It's his own damn fault, they should have admitted defeat and added Lidar years ago, when everyone else did.
Tesla hasn’t stopped making cars, they’ve stopped making the Model S and Model X. Both were higher-end models that don’t sell well now that the 3 and Y are available.
Musk’s a ketamine-addled pedo fascist shithead. There’s enough bad about him without adding misinformation to the pile.
They haven't stopped, but their focus has pivoted away from their own cars. They don't seem interested in developing anything.
Tesla had lidar before, they decided to switch to vision-only control, presumably for hardware cost saving, but I read that this was musks decision ultimately, despite the pushback. The model s's that had the hw on board simply stopped using it after an update.
Oooooof... How can someone be so dense? That's just preposterous.
On the Lidar note, I wonder how much of a factor that is in Waymo being way safer. Those things are decked out.
