No one is going to get to a true L5 for a long time. That is totally irrelevant. It's a war of attrition. Whoever can monetize L3/L4 and can scale without any vehicle upgrade cost is going to win. It's pretty obvious lidar is very very silly since it doesn't scale.
It is also pretty easy to see that Tesla doesn't have to hit L5 to have won autonomy. It just has to successfully monetize L3/L4.
