Tesla Vision vs Lidar (Waymo, Apple, Nvidia, Cruise, Uber)

In the race toward fully autonomous electric vehicles, two competitive systems are at the forefront: Tesla Vision and Elon Musk's

, which are currently being used by all the other major players in the self-driving vehicle space. It's Elon Musk against the world It's Tesla Vision better, who will win? multi-billion dollar race towards fully autonomous driving welcome to technological duels in today's video we will compare the two main schools of thought on the systems behind autonomous vehicles

The most anticipated feature of all will undoubtedly be the complete autonomy of the autonomous vehicle. It's the kind of thing. We used to see it only in movies, wouldn't it be cool to ride in a self-driving car while you play video games, catch up on emails, or take a nap while watching other drivers with their eyes on the road and their hands steady? ? the steering wheel so what is autonomous driving and how does it work an autonomous or driverless vehicle is one that navigates between locations without a human driver using a combination of artificial intelligence cameras sensors lasers radar and ultrasonic technology currently the automotive society Engineers recognize six levels of driving automation ranging from fully manual level zero to fully autonomous level five.

Many manufacturers have achieved level 2 automation by adding advanced driver assistance systems or ADAS that include automatic

cruise

control, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. You may have seen some of which some manufacturers have achieved levels 3 and 4 of autonomy, which include different levels of human requirements in the automated driving system or advertising tasks. Level 4 vehicles can operate autonomously; However, they can currently only do so in a restricted region and at speeds. of about 30 miles per hour, known as geofencing, keep an eye out as some companies are actively testing level 4 vehicles on the roads today, level 5 vehicles, on the other hand, will be fully autonomous, just sit back, relax and enjoy the trip you may not even need. steering wheels or forward-facing seats imagine the possible uses personal vehicles food delivery trucks taxis and rideshares public transportation, etc., but who has the best technology to get there first according to sources, the adoption of autonomous vehicles or AVs will begin in 2025 with Sales will exceed 12 million units by 2035 and virtually all vehicle sales by 2050.

Currently, more than 80 companies are involved in the self-driving vehicle industry. According to Statista, the AV market is estimated to be worth $400 billion globally by 2025. Tesla and its competitors like Waymo, which is a Google company, Apple, Uber, Nvidia and Cruise are doing their best for a piece of the pie. The sooner any of the companies arrive, the greater their participation, so who will prevail in the race to level 5 autonomy. Everyone wants to be self-employed and the majority. I think light detection and ranging or lidar is the safest way to get there. Lidar is a way of measuring distance by shooting lasers and measuring the time it takes for them to return.

The concept is similar to radar, except that instead of radio waves lasers are used because due to their extreme accuracy and precision, Tesla, the world's best-known electric car brand, has completely bucked the lidar trend with an approach From camera-only to its self-driving technology, Tesla Vision, as you'd expect from Tesla's CEO, Musk has gladly chosen the self versus the world approach, but say what you will about his methods. Distinctions like this are what set Tesla apart and have made them one of the most valuable companies in the world. Tesla cars are currently equipped with 12 long-range ultrasonic sensors that offer 360-degree

. image in degrees of the vehicle each vehicle also has a forward-facing radar system similar to radar lidar sends signals through periodic radio waves that bounce off things in the vicinity of the car radar has the advantage of being cheaper and can be used effectively in any climate unlike lidar, which has difficulty in conditions such as fog, rain or snow in the transition to

tesla

vision musk plans to eliminate radar completely and rely solely on cameras and neural network processing, which is a system Tesla designed to emulate the human brain.

Both systems of course have their pros and cons, Elon Musk referred to lidar as nonsense and went on to say that anyone who relies on lidar is doomed, he even called out the use of lidar in vehicles. Humans don't use lasers to drive, we use our eyes, so it makes sense to use the vision system. It seems logical. Whether Tesla can get approval for Level 5 autonomy with its Tesla vision remains to be seen, according to Musk. Tesla will make it. level 4 autonomy in 2022, however all vehicles that have achieved this feat so far have done so using lidar, so is Musk's Tesla vision either real nonsense or Tesla moving against the current will give great results In the end, the companies that play here are too big.

Fail or one of these giants will fall and you will have to admit defeat. Can the two systems succeed and coexist? What we do know for sure is that the system that reaches Level 5 autonomy first will have a huge competitive advantage as the world settles down.
