    Humans can drive just fine without lidar aswell. Road infrastructure is designed for vision. The car not being able to see is not the issue. It’s teaching the car to understand what it sees and how to deal with it. Lidar doesn’t help you solve this issue.

      Unlike human eyes Tesla’s inconveniently do not come with a supercomputer installed that is able to interpret the optical data reliably. With the compute power we have available Radar based navigation is the only one that produces reliably safe results.

        It depends on your definition of “super computer”, it used to be any computer with performance over 1 gigaflop, which today would probably include most smart phones and the built in car computer in the Tesla.

        But regardless of semantics, I think your point holds, humans are a special case and computers can’t do that yet.

          Bro he was talking about your brain And there is no supercomputer on earth able to even approach it, and regardless supercomputer is a rather relative term tbh

            Yeah, I caught that… Obviously.

            and regardless supercomputer is a rather relative term tbh

            That was essentially my point. Keep up.

        Except we don’t have reliable radar navigation, what are you smoking? Are you just making things up you think should be true?
