His most popular videos were the "Glitterbomb" series, which he announced a year or two in advance would be drawing to a close.
If you watch them, it's obvious why he wanted to stop making them. Because his audience was starting to overwhelmingly notice the race of the porch pirates, especially the more violent ones.
Taking R&D out of the picture Vision+LIDAR sensors would be more expensive than Vision alone but still Musk always believed and is adamant that perfecting vision-based navigation is essential for the development of automation in general. The fork in the road and all that. It's not only about driving. I don't think saving money was a big reason.
Perfect vision-based navigation is still going to hit obstacles. It's a "first principle" that active sensors have more potential to detect things than passive ones.
Have you ever heard a sci-fi where they turn off active sensors to avoid detection and the Captain says "actually just leave them off for good they're pointless". No, they are always 'flying in the dark' because everybody knows active sensors are better.
Telsa used a cheap $20 camera sensor instead of a $50 one that was across the board better. Of course dropping lidar was about money.
Even Submarines have to use their sonar at some point just to see what is around them and correct for minor drift in course. Most of the time they use passive sonar (i.e. listening to the ambient noise) to avoid revealing their location, but even with gyroscopic inertial navigation assistance, tiny errors accumulate over time, and they have to send out a sonar pulse to see what is around them in the water.
They also periodically surface to attain a gps signal and receive comms, since it's pretty hard to penetrate 1000 feet of water with a radio signal.
I haven’t watched the full video yet but it’s supposedly very bad. Not only does he not use fsd but autopilot instead, people have pointed out he had to do multiple takes based on the video to get the result he wanted, and he slammed on the accelerator to get the “crash” he wanted.
And part of the tests involved driving into a looney toon style plywood wall that was painted to look exactly like the surroundings. Like painted road into the distance, horizion etc etc. Heres a photo of that wall in qns
While I prefer the extra insurance of LIDAR, the whole deal with Tesla is that the car should be able to operate as well as a human with the same input, i.e. camera. It's a lofty goal and still a ways off, but logically sound.
Still not paying for FSD because it drives like a gay.
I'm not a fan of it, but the self driving does better than a lot of the retards around me. You can tell which tesla drivers aren't using it because they're tailgating at highway speeds like lemmings.
Driver training standards are way too low these days.
Interesting. I always thought Rober smelled, dude has that covert leftist look to his stuff. Can't really explain it, just a gut feeling.

It's the way he speaks, sounds annoying and has annoying opinions.
The faggotry was a dead give away for me.
Any time someone has influence, you should always question their background... or their Wikipedia early life section 🤣
Intended audience for the video is 5 year olds, cartoon voice, staged and manipulated. It's painful to watch more than 15 seconds of it.
But it's basically correct. Lidar is always going to be a better technology for avoiding car crashes.
Tesla went vision-only to save money, not because it's better.

Ultimately it doesn't prove anything since the same could happen to a human driver. https://thoughtnova.com/driver-crashes-into-wall-after-it-was-painted-to-look-like-a-tunnel
Mark Rober is a piece of trash and a total phony. He was a taxpayer teat sucker at JPL and is a true Californian (aka a leftie turd).
More evidence that the stock market shouldn’t exist

The YTer considers the Luminar CEO his buddy. Presumably he didn't mention this? IDK since I won't be watching his shit.
It doesn't need to be paid promotion, it's already GG-style non-disclosure and nepotism at best, potentially insider trading too.
