I literally work for an automotive OEM and have worked in computer vision for over a decade. Nice links to engineering blogs written by my colleagues.
You are a moron and I seem to have struck a nerve. Hello, salty Tesla owner or engineer.

Meanwhile working at an automotive OEM speaks to your qualifications on the subject about as much as being a mechanic at a car dealer: it doesn't.
The only person who sounds like they've had a nerve struck is the one who immediately devolved into name calling the moment they were called out.
I think we're seeing what happens when FOMO meets "missed out". It'd just be more humorous if you weren't projecting your anger onto me.
Where? A narrow area in which you can create ultra-HD maps that are in no way indicative of the general case?
If you’re at Cruise, I can only grab a ride between 10 pm and 5:30 am (lol, lmao). If you’re at Waymo, your beta is still closed (though I have several invites from former colleagues) and you only serve a tiny fraction of realistic destinations in the city. Do you think this proves your point? Let me restate my position: you can’t scale to the general case. You never will. You will be stuck in Phoenix and specific part of SF forever. Your business will never be viable. Your vehicles will never be able to navigate roads without a prohibitively costly mapping effort in that region that doesn’t scale. Your valuation will continue to decline. What part of offering unsafe rides to friends and family right now changes that?
You're already behind on which cities are being mapped by the way.
Funded by investors or search ads, not ride fares. And in a $200k vehicle that will never be economically viable. Your resume will be embarrassing in a few years if you stick around. Do yourself a favor and get out before you go to zero.
