the cancellation of the model 2 for the cybertruck may have been the worst possible decision tesla went through maybe.

Not as bad as choosing not to use lidar for their automated driving, but pretty close.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 50 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Well, to remove LiDAR, as it was in place at first

How Can Our Eyes Be Real And Cameras Not Be Sufficient For Autonomous Driving

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

It’s just… incredibly dumb. Because the problem is not the optics. The problem is making a control system that more or less replicates a “normal” human response pattern, but then got regulated and litigated to hell and back, plus some helpful navigation suggestions based on correlation of user location data to advertising partners in partner-defined geographic and social media and demographic targeting nets, plus the fucking legion of weird edge case bugs that have probably crept in at some point in the process.

At the same time, every once in a while, one should pause and consider how important it is to always look on the bright side of life

But we don't need LIDAR! Humans don't have lidar, and they can drive! All you need to do is replicate millions of years of evolution in a few years and you're done!

Not as bad as making the cybertruck.

Selling. Companies make worthless concept designs all the time

TIL, what a joke. Based on a quick search it was merely cost cutting, they are idiots
