i’ve said for years that #tesla will eventually regret its ditching of #LIDAR in favor of a camera-only approach. in fact, the very day that news came out, i basically counted tesla out when it comes to self-driving cars. we are now seeing the rotten fruits of this decision begin to grow, with LIDAR equipment costs plummeting and competition from Waymo, which has been way ahead of tesla as far as full self driving and robotaxis go for years now. and it’s only getting worse, with #BYD offering basic (still better than tesla’s) self-driving features for free while also offering LIDAR-enhanced models for an increase in price that is less than the cost of upgrading to the joke that is “Full Self-Driving” offered by Tesla. hell, you could buy a BYD with better technology for the price of the joke of a feature offered by TSLA. it’s a joke. and i love to see it. i feel bad for the employees, who are undoubtedly very intelligent. but i guess we’ll just have to see what happens “next year” 🙄

Urban settlements in the #Amazon region? They existed long before Columbus. But knowledge about them was more or less lost for a long time. In her keynote lecture on Tuesday, Bolivian archaeologist Carla Jaimes Betancourt from the #UniBonn explained why #Lidar technology is now bringing back this knowledge and what new discoveries have already been made.
In an interview, she also told us why she became an archaeologist 👇

People keep putting fake walls in front of Teslas

In the tesla fanboy's video, the Tesla Model Y with confirmed FSD (in this case, version 12.5.4.2) didn’t fare better than Rober’s — he had to manually stop the vehicle before it crashed into the fake wall that, to my human eyes, doesn’t look quite as convincing.

“While Bambu’s touchscreen and #software does a wonderful job easing newcomers into #printing, #cutting, and #etching, and it’s got more cameras and #algorithms than ever before (including #LIDAR, timelapse, a new nozzle #camera and a bird’s eye camera too), I’m actually finding its basic #3DPrinting modes aren’t as reliable yet as other printers I’ve used.”

Tesla fans expose Tesla’s own shadiness in attempt to defend Autopilot crash

A group of #Tesla fans inadvertently exposed Tesla’s shadiness regarding crashes involving Autopilot by attempting to claim the ADAS was not active in a crash test

It was not only active, but it also disengaged itself less than a second before the crash—a known shady behavior of Tesla’s Autopilot

Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test

In simple words, the lidar sensors didn’t care what was painted on the wall, they only cared that it was a wall, while Tesla's cameras-only system can be tricked.
