Tesla Autopilot drove into a Looney Tunes, Wile E. Coyote-style fake road wall in the middle of the road. This was the outcome of a camera versus LiDAR test for autonomous driving by Youtuber and ...

YouTuber Mark Rober tested Tesla's Autopilot against a LiDAR-equipped car to assess its obstacle detection. Tesla's Autopilot struggled in extreme fog, rain, and painted wall tests, unlike the ...

It was essentially a comparison test between Tesla’s camera-only autopilot/FSD system and LiDAR systems, with the LiDAR vehicle running Luminar’s system. The experiment tested whether the cars ...

But it is noteworthy just how effective the LiDAR system was shown to be in the video, as Tesla has very publicly decided to forgo these sensors in favor of relying entirely on computer vision.

The buzz of the self-driving world this week was a video by Mark Rober, one YouTube’s biggest stars, comparing Tesla’s camera-based Autopilot to a LIDAR equipped car with some obstacles ...

Plus, while other companies use LIDAR on their self-driving prototypes, Tesla relies entirely on cameras. Cameras are cheaper than LIDAR, but they also don't do all the same things, either.

Tesla Autopilot drove into Wile E. Coyote-style fake road wall in the middle of the road in a camera versus lidar test. While most companies developing self-driving technologies have been using a ...

Except for one notable exception: Tesla. Lidar, which works by firing laser beams to capture a car’s surroundings in three dimensions as a way to assess its environment, is widely used in the ...

Tesla Inc. TSLA CEO Elon Musk doubled down on his longtime skepticism of LiDAR technology on Thursday following the videos of YouTubers testing his EV vehicles against a ‘Wile E. Coyote' fake ...

Rober praised LiDAR tech company Luminar so often throughout the segment that viewers questioned whether the footage was tampered with as part of an elaborate advertisement. “Tesla needs to pull ...
