    Lidar is a crutch. Local maximums are enticing, but that’s as far as you’ll get with Lidar.

      @Motivation Factory Go back to comment #1: Lidar is a crutch. They’ll have L4 success with it, but that’s it. Only Tesla will get to truly autonomous anywhere driving, even on roads no Tesla has ever seen before.

      Ask yourself, why hasn’t Waymo expanded their L4 solution anywhere in YEARS if Lidar is so great?

    I waited for the question about, why is lidar needed when Tesla is going all vision. But the journalist al so narrow minded.
