Scenarios in which Tesla FSD Beta 9.0 fails
All of the Tesla fanboys saying you don&#x27;t need LIDAR, RADAR, or Maps as a kind of &quot;ground truth&quot; and you can get by on video only should take this as a huge repudiation of brag by Musk.<p>Look, Radar, Lidar, and Maps aren&#x27;t perfect. A map can be wrong, Radar can have false echos, Lidar can have issues in bad weather, etc. But if you&#x27;re depending on visual recognition of one-way signs, having a potentially out-of-date backup map to check your prediction again, and err on the side of caution, is better than having no Map at all.<p>Ditto for radar and lidar. Radar enabled cars have collided with semis, remember, because they&#x27;re aimed low (underneath the semi). But in the case of these planters, or road cones, or monorail poles, the radar is going to be a strong signal to the rest of the system that it isn&#x27;t seeing something.<p>There&#x27;s no way FSD should be allowed on public roads, it&#x27;s not even CLOSE to ready. The other car companies are behaving far more responsibility: full sensor suite, multi-sensor fusion, comparison with detailed road maps, and limiting operation to safe areas, and expanding as safety is proven.<p>Who the hell cares if it&#x27;s not FSD driving if its so dangerous? I&#x27;ll take 75% FSD that only operates on highways and long commutes or road trips, over 100% FSD that has so many disengagements and &quot;woah&quot; moments as to be unusable.
