Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test
Tesla Autopilot drove into Wile E. Coyote-style fake road wall in the middle of the road in a camera versus lidar test.
While most companies developing self-driving technologies have been using a mix of sensors (cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic), Tesla insists on only using cameras.
The automaker removed radars from its vehicle lineup and even deactivated radars already installed in existing vehicles.
The strategy has yet to pay off as Tesla’s systems are still stuck at level 2 driver assist systems.
CEO Elon Musk claims that Tesla’s advantage is that once it solves autonomy, it will be able to scale faster than competitors because its vision plus neural net system is designed to work like a human driver and, therefore, will be able to adapt to any road.
Critics have pushed back against those claims, especially since Musk mentioned Tesla achieving “level 5 autonomy”, which means “in any conditions,” and cameras have limitations on that front that are fixed by lidar sensors.
A new video by engineering Youtuber Mark Rober has provided a very interesting demonstration of that very problem:
In the video, Rober puts a Tesla Model Y on Autopilot against a vehicle using a lidar system in a series of tests in different conditions.
The Tesla on Autopilot managed to stop for a kid mannequin in the middle of the road when statics, moving, and blinded by lights, but it couldn’t stop in fog or heavy rain:
It’s not surprising that the lidar, a laser-based system, is capable of detecting better in heavy fog than a camera system.
The heavy rain was a bit more surprising, but to be fair, the level of rain was quite spectacular.
The last scenario of a Wile E. Coyote-style wall with a fake road painted on it was obviously not realistic, but it serves to illustrate the issue with cameras versus radar or lidar sensors: they rely on the perception of potential obstacles rather than hard data about potential obstacles.
In simple words, the lidar sensors didn’t care what was painted on the wall, they only cared that it was a wall, while cameras can be tricked.

Elizabeth Hurley Nude Photo Shoot Video From The 1980’s
The recently released colorized video above features actress Elizabeth Hurley on the set of a nude photo shoot from the late 1980s.
Yes, Elizabeth Hurley was quite the degenerate Jezebel back in her early days, as she posed for nude photos, flashed her nether region outdoors, and flaunted her bulbous British boobies in scenes like the ones in the compilation video above. All this she did just to achieve fleeting fame in heathen Hollywood, only to have her flaming homofag actor boyfriend of 13 years, Hugh Grant, cheat on her with an AIDS-riddled abid hooker.
