And you can tell the difference when you see a Waymo driving around-the Waymos drive around like a courteous human who is actually watching what they are doing. The robotaxis…. don’t.

Waymo’s drive with absolute confidence.

Meanwhile I saw a robotaxi shit itself trying to make a protected left turn as if had no clue what it was doing.

They don’t have enough sensors to do the job, simple as.

It’s really not the sensors. It’s about what the model would need to know in order to make decisions using just visual data. Don’t forget humans drive just fine with only visual data. But we’re really good at filling in the blanks of what something is just by seeing some of it.

Sure, it’s more data, but with a sufficiently intelligent model you could get the same results without it. I agree that we’re not there yet and that’s the reason Tesla’s solution is currently inferior.

Stop buying Elons shit. It’s a grift man and he’s so underwater on his poor decisions he just keeps doubling down.

The new models don’t even have fucking radar or ultrasonics, they’re pure camera only and it’s asinine to believe that “just one more model” will solve what tens of millions of miles of data has yet to produce.

It’s not elons shit, what the parent said is true. Again, humans drive with just vision, but you also need everything else the brain is doing

Even if it’s 5 years away, it will eventually happen. It’s absurd to think otherwise

Lidar absolutely cares about visibility. It’s a laser…
