How many sensors for autonomous driving?
The new Apple Vision Pro arguably has a better set of cameras, sensors and signal processing than a Tesla... not sure what to take from that. Makes me think what an Apple Car would be like.<p>My argument on autonomous driving is that it can&#x27;t just match the safety of the average human driver. It needs to be 100-1000x better, unquestionably better for everyone, always. Until that happens it&#x27;s a dead end. I think that&#x27;s probably only achievable with LIDAR, which will come down in price as volumes ramp up.<p>The thing that surprises me is that Tesla has invested so much into various hardware technology (even their own silicon), but completely ignored LIDAR. With their resources, volume and investment, they could have reduced the cost to a tenth of what it is now. They go for big challenges, but decided not to try on that one.
