Autopilot of electric cars Tesla it relies primarily on cameras, which Elon Musk called sufficient some time ago. On the contrary, he was very critical of the address LiDARu, which he described as a means for fools and as way to perdition. In Florida, however, a Tesla Model Y car with lidar modules from the company was photographed Luminar. In addition, it is rumored that Tesla should have entered into some form of cooperation with the above-mentioned company, which suggests that it may not be another company developing autonomous management and that it was only by chance to use a Tesla car. This is supposed to be confirmed by the registration mark, which is to be registered at Tesla and should be seen, for example, at prototypes of Tesla Cybertruck (It is painted on pictures on Twitter, however). –
On the contrary, it may be one part of the much-mentioned and promised fully autonomous driving, on the other hand, it would be strange that the lidars did not appear more often on the roads in recent months (one similar test car was seen in early 2020). Therefore, it is rather assumed that it is a validation system (for the creation of the so-called “ground truth”) to verify the correct functionality of a new version of autopilot relying on cameras. Now the only question is whether the cameras will really be enough for everything, as Elon Musk claims. The last few accidents have brought this burning question (when it is usually still uncertain whether the autopilot was to blame) again.
