66. Vision Only
Vision only became the guiding principle for Tesla's Autopilot system as Elon Musk made a groundbreaking decision in early 2021 to eliminate radar technology entirely. This decision, fueled by Musk’s belief in the power of visual data from cameras, marked a bold step away from the traditional reliance on radar and lidar technologies for autonomous driving. Musk's faith in the potential of cameras was rooted in his conviction that they could achieve true autonomy by replicating the human visual system’s…-
