Even worse, LIDAR isn't even that expensive. Musky just thought they should be able to do without it because, "humans do it with just eyes."
Just so no one mistakes the above as hyperbolic, musk actually said this during an engineering meeting. His engineers kept telling him why Tesla needed the extra sensors, and he replied "people just have eyes and they can drive."
Anytime someone tries to play him off an engineer or anything but a lucky gambler and flim flam man, just remember the above.
People also have a brain. Most of them even use it when driving.
Ah, an optimist!
Absolutely.
