Title: Tesla Model Y gets LiDAR sensor in test sighting suggesting robotaxi development
Post by: Redaktion on June 22, 2024, 01:37:37
A Tesla Model Y has been spotted on California's highway 101 with a large LiDAR sensor array mounted to its roof. The bulky hardware suggests that Tesla is conducting testing, either to validate its camera-based self-driving or as part of its engineering efforts for a LiDAR-based robotaxi.

No robotaxi without Lidar. Tesla is seeing the writing on the wall.

lol no.
From what I understand they run lidar variants side by side with FSD so they can  correct and compare the systems

This is what I found mentioned as well, but it doesn't make sense for Tesla to buy $2 million in LiDAR sensors from Luminar if they're just for validation. Sure, that's maybe not enough to put a significant dent in Model Y/3 sales quantities, but for a few hundred/dozen test mules and an early production run for robotaxis? Maybe?

Interesting development! The addition of a LiDAR sensor on the Tesla Model Y could signal significant advancements in their self-driving technology. It'll be exciting to see how this impacts their robotaxi plans! iq test free (https://iqtestfree.io/)
