Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered

  I have a theory on this. They use a lot of ML for FSD and Ap. That a radical redesign would change the model enough that they would have to retrain from scratch. So they keep the facelifts extremely minor .

  Just a theory.

    Tesla’s used to have LiDAR - they turned them off in software and stopped adding them to newer models.

    A long time ago Elon promised that full self-driving would be coming to existing cars that had their self-driving package installed which was cameras only. Elon is probably sticking with cameras only to avoid a lawsuit.

    They stuck the model Y’s new added front camera right under the “grille” shape (where the black trim ends and body colored panels begin), so the rest of it being so bland doesn’t have an excuse. The rest of it’s front cameras are under the front glass, they could at least make an interesting fascia, even if they had to keep the dimensions roughly the same
