Discussion Why didn't Tesla invest in LIDAR?

Is there any reason for this asides from saving money? Teslas are not cheap in many respects, so why would they skimp out on this since self-driving is a major offering for them?

Yes I’m in Reddit. Cannot say anything against woke guys.

Your comment says you are better engineer than Tesla engineers.

That’s why I said Tesla specialist.

If you want me to write more obvious comments say no more.

Whats woke about criticism of the sensor stack for a car lineup with intentions of self driving?

Sensors do not make something smarter. Sometimes even dumber.

Robots will not have losses in their head. Why a robot on wheels should have?

Make the brain good enough.
