“People don’t shoot lasers out of their eyes to drive” is a weak argument

Elon Musk having such hate for Lidar is just silly. Might be valid a decade ago when Lidar was overly expensive like any niche technology at the beginning. But saying that human doesn’t shoot lasers our to drive is kind of like we never had built in speedometers when we were horse riding. Just feel the speed? We never had GPS back then too.

Don’t be surprised when Tesla adopt Lidar one day, with or without Elon.
