A recent test by Crunchlabs has revealed that Tesla’s camera-only system is outperformed by LIDAR technology, resulting in the deaths of several mannequins. Mark Rober, a well-known expert, successfully smuggled a LIDAR system into Disneyland for impressive mapping demonstrations. This incident echoes Elon Musk’s warning that relying on LIDAR systems will be disastrous. During the test, Tesla’s camera system failed to hit all targets, including a child-like mannequin, whereas the LIDAR system proved more accurate. Rober’s stunt at Disneyland showcased his expertise and resulted in a superior mapping outcome compared to ancient pyramid mapping technology.
