Mark Rober tested Tesla's Autopilot against a LiDAR-equipped Lexus to evaluate its obstacle detection capabilities under various conditions. The Tesla Model Y successfully identified a child mannequin in good visibility, but failed to avoid obstacles hidden by heavy fog, rain, and paint obscuration. In contrast, the LiDAR system effectively navigated these conditions. This raises questions about Elon Musk's claims that camera systems can match human perceptual abilities, especially as the tests reveal significant limitations in Tesla's technology compared to traditional LiDAR systems.
In a head-to-head test, Tesla's Autopilot showed significant limitations in extreme weather conditions, while a LiDAR-equipped car successfully navigated all obstacles.
Elon Musk's dismissal of LiDAR as unnecessary for self-driving technology contrasts with the evidence presented in the recent tests conducted by Mark Rober.
