Trademark office about to get DOGEd.

I'm surprised Musk didn't name it "RoboTaXXXi" or something like that.

Will the things use LIDAR? Tesla is so far behind on self-driving tech in their cars, I think they need to finally admit their cheap camera-only method doesn't work.

Obviously you don't understand that lidar is a waste of time and camera only if exactly what a car needs.

Musk, probably

If cars needed lidar, why did God make them without it?

Sorry, couldn’t read this. My eyes were just blinded by Tesla headlights.

From an article from 2 days ago: 'Limited lidar use for training edge-cases.'
