Unlikely. The only comments he's provided here are one sentence sound bites that channel Musk's purest essence.

Companies using LIDAR? "They bet wrong".

People describing how stereo cameras don't inherently see 3D? "Baloney. Based on eyesight".

Companies that have spent years and billions developing and testing autonomy? "Almost certain they are wrong".

Here's a nice video: https://answerswithjoe.com/lidar-vs-computer-vision-waymo-be...

It's a little more compelling on the data side but also goes into Lidar vs vision.

It might be controversial at this point to assert that vision is better. But I don't think it's controversial any longer to assert that vision is sufficient.

Given that driving and roads are currently set up for vision and Lidar will never be able to "see", it seems very reasonable to think vision could ultimately be better.

Or none of it will work.

I and many others believe that it is very unlikely.

Well, you forgot my lengthiest scribe:

"Sure it’s laggier but with dedicated silicon that’s a non-issue.

Fact is vision is more than adequate. And lidar is literally blind."

There's no evidence that I have seen that suggests vision-based autonomy will not be sufficient. Tesla is not the only one using the approach. Lidar has its own problem with cost and that it literally cannot see.
