Why Ford Thinks LIDAR Is 'Mission Critical' For Self-Driving Cars
"Farley made it clear that Ford felt that LIDAR tech used by other robotaxi companies like Waymo is just way-mo better than Tesla's vision-based system."
"Ford, the number three automaker in the U.S., plans to work with partners to incorporate self-driving technology into its future vehicles."
Tesla has initiated a limited deployment of its Robotaxi in Austin, available to selected influencers and Tesla advocates, while still requiring a human in the passenger seat for safety. Ford has openly expressed skepticism about Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology, emphasizing LIDAR as essential for their self-driving approach. CEO Farley highlighted that they prefer LIDAR over Tesla’s vision-based system. Ford plans to collaborate with partners to integrate self-driving technology into their vehicles rather than pursuing Tesla’s technology at this time.
