'Lidar is lame': why Elon Musk's vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered
8 points by breadwinner 4 days ago | 4 comments- Zigurd 4 days agoTesla supposedly has a $37 billion cash pile, but no autonomous vehicle comparable to a Waymo, nor a successor to the Model 3 and Model Y. No New Roadster. No production Semis. The robot is lame compared to Atlas. They've got the resources to do all of these things right. Elon might be the most notable case of that stingy boss who starves all projects and complains about everything being expensive.
