Elon Musk's hefty anti-LIDAR gamble is undermining Tesla's chances of survival
It shoots out light beams, the light beams bounce off of nearby objects, the returning beams are then collected up by the LIDAR unit. This is akin to radar and allows for the measurement of distances to objects, within the range of the LIDAR device being used. The AI system of the autonomous car then interprets the collected data to try and figure out what objects are nearby, along with the shapes of the objects, their amount of movement over time, their direction or heading, and so on.
Instead, consider an ongoing technical argument underway in the halls of autonomous car makers and researchers about the merits of LIDAR versus cameras, and the anti-LIDAR camp that wants to assert that cameras are sufficient by themselves and that LIDAR is not needed.
