Text Messages Between Travis Kalanick and Anthony Levandowski
"Uber Saw Tesla as a Huge Competitor<p>While Uber followed Google’s cars closely, it was Tesla and Elon Musk that the duo discussed most frequently.<p>9/14/2016 Levandowski: Tesla crash in January … implies Elon is lying about millions of miles without incident. We should have LDP on Tesla just to catch all the crashes that are going on.<p>9/22/2016: We’ve got to start calling Elon on his shit. I'm not on social media but let's start "faketesla" and start give physics lessons about stupid shit Elon says like [saying his cars don’t need lidar]"<p>Does anyone know what they're referencing here? I don't take Elon as a person to lie, his character seems too strong for that - he understands public perception and seems to deeply cares about it.
