Waymo's LiDAR has no future
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ We can use two objective facts to verify why LiDAR has no future.
1) Several companies, including NVIDIA, are developing pure vision-based autonomous driving architectures, validating Tesla’s pure vision autonomous driving as the right direction.
2) Humanoid robots don’t have LiDAR. Currently, I haven’t seen any robots with LiDAR. If robots can operate on pure vision without needing LiDAR, then LiDAR becomes unnecessary.
The two major objective facts above prove that Waymo has gone in the wrong direction. Waymo will not disappear immediately; it still has a chance to change course and switch to pure vision. If it doesn’t adapt, once other pure vision autonomous driving companies emerge in large numbers, Waymo will face the risk of being phased out.
It's simple logic: if pure vision can achieve the same level of safety as LiDAR, then what's the point of using LiDAR? Currently, there is no evidence showing that something achievable by LiDAR cannot be achieved by pure vision. On the contrary, real-world scenarios have shown cases where LiDAR fails but pure vision succeeds.

75724791 : Come on, even Tesla has safety officers, and they’re already running unmanned on the streets.
长期持有 OP 75724791 : Whether there is a safety officer or not is not the key point; the key is how many miles the vehicle can operate without intervention, as that car will eventually need to carry passengers. You can just consider the safety officer as a passenger—it's the same.
Tesla users are driving across the U.S. with autopilot enabled, while Waymo is only operating in a few cities. Which one do you think is stronger?
75724791 : You're beyond help, Tesla is Level 2 driving! Other companies are already at Level 4 autonomous driving, their data is much more transparent than Tesla’s. Regulatory authorities are involved in the data oversight, whereas Tesla's accident data remains unregulated. Let me say it again: FSD is just assisted driving; even if it’s everywhere on the roads, it doesn’t change that.

. Be sure to provide your strong rebuttal.
Freshly released Waymo user experience—what you call Level 4 autonomous driving
The more you talk, the more it shows your limited cognitive ability and inability to think independently.
I suggest Waymo needs to add more LiDAR sensors.
