Part 3/12:
Meanwhile, Tesla's competition continues to pursue a complex, multi-sensor, data-intensive approach—relying on Lidars, radars, ultrasonic sensors, and high-definition mapping. These strategies are slow, costly, and organizationally complicated, making rapid scalability an elusive goal. In contrast, Tesla’s reliance on a camera-only, vision-based system has demonstrated exceptional growth, suggesting that the so-called "sensor fusion" paradigm may be fundamentally flawed.
