What’s maddening about that whole situation isn’t that Tesla chose not to use it, it’s that Musk posed it as some sort of negative. “LiDAR is for losers”, not “We think we can do it without the expensive LiDAR hardware that would drive our cars’ costs too high for the average consumer”.

Remember that insane Xbox game where you played the Burger King king and sneaked around people houses and yards. They’re a weird bunch. 

A new challenger appears!

I think the local government disputed that and painted over the mural before anyone actually crashed.

this one’s better.

I acknowledge your superior experience, Toobs-san, and will seek to better myself by your example.

I fooled A LOT of people riding my motorcycle wearing this. Wasn’t to pretend being a cop, it was to keep people off my ass in PanAm Games traffic!

I’ll be honest here. I can never remember which is correct. I use both spellings because I am too lazy to even pick up a dictionary.

you are both pussies.  eat a sloppy joe while wearing a full face helmet on a crotch rocket on the Kank in the rain.  

It fooled people already, there is an image floating around where someone crashed into it.

amateur hour. Call me when you can eat a burrito on a back mountain road with a close-ratio six speed.

And I think you are overestimating how the fuck you would do this.

Key skill of a good driver is the Ability to eat Double Whopper with a 5 speed manual while driving. Without a cup holder. Life skills are important and lost on the children of today

I was thinking about this earlier this year, and apparently others have been thinking even harder.

Why would I stop for a cardboard cutout? I have two eyeballs, and therefore a sense of depth of field.  A cardboard cutout doesn’t look like a person with depth perception.

Call the POLITE!

What if you wrapped your car with a thousand JPEGs of a stop sign?

This has real implications: think how easy it would be to fool a Tesla under Autopilot almost-control with a fake stop sign pretty much anywhere. A motivated troublemaker could color-copy a crude stop sign and put it anywhere they wanted to make things inconvenient or even dangerous for such cars.
