Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago
"A shortsighted design decision that Elon Musk made more than a decade ago is once again coming back to haunt Tesla.
As The Guardian reports, the company's Robotaxi rollout has been a massive bust — due, in at least in part, to Musk's long-ago bet against the light detection and ranging sensors known as lidar, which are hardware that allow cars to "sense" their surroundings far more sensitively than the visual cameras that Tesla is instead using as the inputs for itse self-driving software.
Waymo, Google's driverless cab service, uses a mixed array of lidar, radar, cameras, and other sensors to autonomously navigate the world around them.
More than decade ago, Musk made a big bet against that strategy. And he's kept raging against it since, too."
