    New article: "New Research May Vindicate Tesla's Choice To Forego LIDAR"

    It is irrelevant because the time factor has already been beat. Lidars used in L4 Highway Self driving cars ARE ALREADY in production TODAY! And that's with 140 degrees field of view and range of up to 200 meters (656.168 ft). All lidar being deployed for L3/L4 highway for 2020/2021 currently...

If we're to believe the California DMV that Google in 2016 were at 1 disengagement every 5,000 miles then they won't have any problem making a driver-less video on one shot then or now. They wouldn't need to run that exact...

    Waymo Makes History: First Fully Self Driving Car With No Driver

    Waymo uses NN for objection detection just like everyone else. This applies to both to their lidar data and their camera data (as they have 12 cameras based vision system in addition to all their lidars)
