Tesla Owners Silicon Valley(@teslaownersSV):Why Robotaxi ONCE YOU SOLVE VISION. LIDAR IS OPTIONAL. Robotaxi does not scale by bolting more sensors on every car. It scales when the stack is cameras + neural nets — the same solution in every vehicle, learning from the fleet. Elon, Tesla Autonomy Day 2019: “They're all going to dump LiDAR. That's my prediction. Mark my words.” “And in cars, it's friggin' stupid. It's expensive and unnecessary. Once you solve vision, it's worthless.” That’s why Robotaxi matters. - 8 cameras — Tesla vision stack - Sixth Austin expand — this morning - ~245 → ~264 sq mi (North Austin + Pflugerville) - Sept 3 Cybercab Austin — days away Solve vision once. Every car ships the same stack. Scale comes from seeing.
