     Other people just don’t think computer is powerful enough to process so many high res camera, and elon make the computer, others fall behind

     +Leon Guo People also didn’t think a computer would be able to best a human world champion at chess. Now who’s the champ?

     People have always lacked vision. A person is needed for that. Then, if that person is persuasive enough, with the achievements to show, then the people will come around.

     +Leon Guo Once the real-world data from full self-driving goes public and people see it being 100x safer than human driving, it’s all over for the rest of the industry.

   While of course lidar is not reliable enough because it can’t detect metal, shapes, texture, or luminosity. But clearly Elon Musk has it wrong as well, using video, because his Teslas have hit many trucks already, using video.

     Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Watch this to the end then come back and read your comment.

     The ACTUAL Autopilot 1, 2, or 2.5, is not a self driving system.

     Thats not true. Autopilot hits stuff because it is not full self driving, and drivers arent paying attention.

     FSD isnt flawed because of that, its different software. The features that make FSD possible are not implemented in current versions of tesla autopilot. Once tesla pushes out a feature complete version, the neural network can be trained on all the things that currently autopilot struggles with, but that isnt really possible when your feature set isnt compete.

     Neural nets, and computer learning are the way to go. The limitation you are describing is a software, not hardware issue. Tesla is correct, and easily the leader.

     FSD and autopilot are two totally different technology. Mobilieye’s image chip was used in the original autopilot which uses human annotate features. Tesla’s full self driving technology just demostrated uses vision + deep learning to train the neural net with vast amount of data mostly automatically. No one else is doing that at this moment.

     From Wikipedia:
     “On May 15, 2017, United States District Judge banned Levandowski from further work on Otto’s Lidar technology on the basis of having breached the confidentiality of former employer Waymo.”

     So I’m not saying he’s wrong, but perhaps there are other reasons he’s not continuing to develop lidar.

   So basically Levandowski stole lidar tech from Google to Otto for nothing

     (((Levandowski))) jews always stealing tech from everyone and selling it to china, russia, and india to make Israel look good in front of them and making a pretty shekkle from it.

   “I think if somebody started today and they were really good, they might have something like what we have today in 3 years, but in 2 years, ours will be 3 times better.” – Elon Musk

    The amazing thing is not just Elon was right but he saw exactly what it is even before he started to execute. Other very smart people still need to fool around with it for a long time before learning the truth.

    so after this guy is legally banned from working w/ lidar he has the revelation that its not necessary….
