I think AI driver give a good summary of some of issues with the Mark Rober showcase of LIDAR.

  • Some of the bias Mark Rober friendships with the LIDAR supplier.
  • Not using Tesla full self driving
  • Being so nervous that he accidentally disables autopilot, twice.
  • The one sided view in LIDAR, with not show examples of LIDAR have issues.
  • Give a way forward to do the tests with FSD
  • Mark Rober not giving the test his full attention, fun vs scientific process

    1. Until someone re do the test, we will not know.
    2. yes if you do it knowingly, then redo it without talking control.
    3. Yes and no, he did put it down as a win.
    4. Mark is an engineer and has a good history of using scientific process. He has previously shown that it can be combined.

    I know sadly that Tesla has lost a lot of respect due to Elon, especially over the last 4 years.

    Engineer is in large part about balancing cost vs features. Yes the will be cases where LIDAR is better, but it comes at high cost. Think about it what is break over point the where the 0.1% edge case where LIDAR will do better, justify the cost.

    If the test that Mark show to unexpected drivers I think many humans drivers will failed. Like spoting a dark stationary object in fog or heavy rain, is very difficult.
