I’m guessing about as well as you or I would.
Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what the law said either. Waymo’s a better driver than me!
He drives an MGB, I’m sure he can handle making sure he keeps up the basic maintenance. That particular year of Saab is actually quite reliable, though. The first gen of the 9-3 had its issues, but a 2005 will do great.
Dang it I keep looking at this and now I’m checking my bank account, thinking about going down and getting it for myself.
I wonder how much of the meh around the NSX comes down to the fact that it just looks boring.
Five years ago, yes. Now, however, noise removal algorithms have made LiDAR much more reliable in adverse weather conditions, and they’re continuing to improve.
Canned demos and stage presentations are a dime a dozen. Vaporware always comes with stage shows.
There are a lot of things humans can do that a computer is unable to replicate without specialized equipment. LiDAR provides exact measurements of a 3D space in the form of computer-friendly data.
Counterpoint: his tunnels
It’s unclear if Elon knows he’s pushing vaporware, or if he truly believes he can do full autonomy without the LIDAR hardware that’s necessary to achieve it. Are his engineers telling him what he wants to hear, or is he just ignoring them?
