Why would anyone take Tesla seriously? Anyone that follows the field know they are far far behind the big ones doing this for years (Waymo, Cruise, Zoox,...).

They did a huge PR//Marketing push, but didn't show anything yet.

Only Tesla has a reasonable goto market strategy. It’s incremental with fast feedback loops and I don’t think folks understand what an advantage that is so Tesla is being underestimated.

What advantage exactly? Yes they can get some data from some cars sometimes. They definitely don't have the infrastructure to manage the terrabytes per hour that the other classical players generate.

They might have an advantage in 15 years, when you don't need a lidar because cameras will be good enough
