Elon is a decade behind.


"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND LIDAR"



I see you've learned deflection from him as well. All those suckers who bought cars for FSD, only to sell them after a decade of empty promises. Cucks.

you are right you dont know.

Waymo uses LIDAR, radar, and cameras systems in their car.
... 4 LiDARs, and 6 radar unit
I think you missed the point.

The LiDARs are expensive. Waymo claimed to have brought expenses down from $75K/unit to $7.5K/unit. They are secretive about their costs, but assuming they are now down to $5K/unit that is $20K just on LiDAR x 4, plus another $5K-$10K on the radar array.

Elon is doing the same thing with cameras and software. So when the poster claimed Elon was a decade behind, it was not an informed opinion.

Millions? Probably not. Hundred of thousands, I guarantee it. Although to get to millions won’t be a significant challenge since FSD is already on Tesla’s owned by consumers. It’s all up to local governments.


One year later...

Tesla has roughly 30 to 60 unsupervised robotaxis operating across the United States

The unsupervised vehicles are primarily limited to Texas, with the highest concentration in Austin (around 27 vehicles), along with smaller handfuls in Dallas and Houston. ]

Waymo, which currently operates a fully autonomous fleet of nearly 4,000 vehicles.

Zoox operates a total test and active fleet of approximately 100 robotaxis


Tesla is in third for active vehicles
