Part 13/15:
Finally, Omar discusses concerns about Tesla’s driver-assistance systems facing scrutiny. The transition to vision-only self-driving has sparked debate, especially amid publicized accidents and skepticism about safety.
Omar explains that regulators are increasingly focused on system performance rather than technology type, and emphasizes that Tesla’s visual approach—backed by extensive data—has the potential to outperform lidar-based systems in safety and scalability. Still, public posturing and media coverage could influence Tesla’s adoption timeline.
He remains optimistic that Tesla’s AI, trained to predict the future and handle complex scenarios, will ultimately win broader acceptance, especially if safety benchmarks are met or exceeded.
