    Coming here because I saw how downvoted this post was on Reddit lol. I love that it’s triggering the Elon fanboys.

      Maybe it was downvoted because of Mormon weirdo Mark Rober and not the content itself?

        Yeah don’t get me wrong I’m not a Mark Rober fan and I don’t think he’s making this video because he’s anti Elon even, he’s just making it because it’s popular to hate Elon and Tesla at the moment. It happens to be a good thing, but unfortunately, I think Mark isn’t doing it out of virtue.

          Who cares about virtue? I just want to be entertained by Tesla cheaping out and then telling drivers it’s a premium car brand that will pay for itself with robo taxi services.

    I’ve been shit-talking Elon’s (absolutely boneheaded) decision to intentionally eschew system-redundancy in systems that are critically responsible for human life for years now. Since he never missed an opportunity to show off his swastikar in MANY of his previous videos, I had assumed Mark Rober was a sponsored member of the alt-right intellectual dark web. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see that this video is a solid (WELL-justified) smear. 👌

      IMHO, this was really a video about camera-only automatic emergency braking, not autonomous driving.

      Lots of cars have AEB now since a lot of regulators are requiring it, but most use a combination of cameras and ultrasonic sonic. The top-of-the-line systems have LiDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic.

      Tesla’s sensors lack redundancy. If the cameras are obstructed or can’t distinguish shapes, the vehicle can’t fall back to another system.

    Thank god it doesn’t have LIDAR sensors, much cheaper to repair the front this way

      The road runner thing seems a bit far fetched yeah. But there were also tests with heavy rain and fog which were not passed by Tesla.
