Dream Drive 2????

Most Cars with ADAS features are programmed to ignore stationary objects while traveling at highway speeds. Lucid’s owners manual says the same thing even with LIDAR.
Every test in this video was at 40mph, not highway speeds.

Yea it would be interesting to see how other cars would behave. But the headline seems clickbait-y... “Self driving car” but it’s not running on the self-driving stack. Would have been an easy thing to try 🤷‍♂️ I’m just saying, I’m not sure there’s any obvious takeaways from it.

The obvious takeaway is that LiDAR sees things just vision cannot. In order for the Tesla not to crash it *had* to be in Autopilot. The other vehicle was *only* being manually driven and relying on safety features. Not being in autopilot would have made the Tesla perform even worse. FSD would not have saved it.

This isn’t rocket science, as much as Elon loves to claim he’s a rocket scientist. It is obvious to any engineer that cameras have flaws and can be fooled. Lidar can too, but not as easily, and not in the same ways.

Using both is better for sensing objects and reacting to them. No matter what Tesla or Elon say.

That’s the takeaway. That’s what this tested. The end, I hope lol

I suggest that you rewatch (and pay close attention) from 10:00 to 10:50 in the video. He made a point that he WAS using FSD for all remaining tests. And, at least for me, there are very obvious takeaways...Tesla's product is currently vastly inferior to ADAS systems that fully integrate LIDAR. I don't really understand how you do not take this away from that test, but let me ask this...with which system would you be more comfortable personally standing in front of the on coming car on a foggy night? And we are "imminently" (Tesla's "timing") close to having millions of Teslas roaming the streets on FSD with optical only tech? Hmmm...

CORRECT!

Autopilot, not FSD. Separate systems, but both use vision and both have this problem.

Sorry, used the wrong terminology…thank u for clarifying. It is the same sensors suite, so presumably would have the same outcome…
