Except, Tesla removed radar from their cars, a relatively inexpensive and simple mechanism that significantly reduce their fatality rate.
It’s a false dichotomy here it’s frustrating, especially when they had implemented a check to their software and then removed it to save money on a $50,000 car
Yeah I think that’s a huge mistake. I would have hoped Elon had enough foresight to see that volume production would make LIDAR cheaper. He has painted himself into a corner. However, he seems like he could play off changing his mind on that decision pretty easily so I hope they go that route at some point. Only problem is it would make a lot of the Tesla’s sold so far incapable of doing FSD so I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
If I had to guess and be mean, even though I like Elon Musk, I'd say that was one of his directives; I liked watching Elon talk about rocket technology, but one day I stumbled about his ideas about software development at PayPall and it made me cringe.
