My claim:

> they’re using lidar to develop FSD.

Your comment:

> they’re just using LiDAR rigs to validate data from their vision based approach

In 2019, Elon called lidar a crutch:

> meaning if you don’t have a Tesla you either simply can’t make trips beyond a single-charge round-trips

You’re overestimating how many people make road trips > 200 miles.

Most Americans never leave their hometown, with an even higher percentage who never left their state.

For the middle class family who drives to visit grandma once a year in a different state, they’ll just use their ICE car.

> If in July the systems are safe and Beta FSD has improvements are you going to admit you were wrong about these things?

Still waiting for the 2017 coast-to-coast FSD drive.

As of May 2021, Tesla publicly announced they’re using lidar to develop FSD.

- Tesla is lacking radar modules due to chip shortage

- As a result, Tesla can’t make vehicles

- Tesla (as always) is cutting it close to making a profit

- Therefore, sell cars without radar

- This “profit squeeze” is corroborated by this week’s (May 27) increase in vehicle prices by $500-$2,000, the reintroduction of enhanced autopilot for $4,000 and Elon trying to pump n dump crypto again with his “crypto eco-oversight committee”

> You seriously think that university research in the US is largely funded or driven by companies? This is utterly wrong.

Slow down there bud. Where did I say that?

Unless you’re talking about AI/ML, then yes, university labs receive more from companies, than government funding agencies.

Look at university research labs, and see where they get their funding from.

Companies tend to fund applied research.

Funding in Europe, whether academic or industry motivated, is simply lacking across all scientific, engineering, and social science disciplines.
