Part 5/8:
While Tesla strides toward scalability and innovation, Ford seems to be steering toward what some may consider a dead end. Reports indicate that Ford is considering a reliance on LiDAR technology for their vehicles, as opposed to trusting the camera and AI systems that Tesla advocates. Without an understanding of the limitations that such approaches impose, Ford's decision may very well be a significant mistake.
The inclination to partner with Waymo rather than Tesla may stem from a misconception that LiDAR is a superior technology. However, Tesla’s capacity for further innovation and adaptability in using camera systems could eclipse these efforts as the industry determines the best path ahead.
