BYD has its own "God's Eye" self-driving tech, and unlike Musk's pigheaded insistence on cameras only, BYD is incorporating LIDAR into their cars across the range:

You still believe that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukLgCJUeBuI

There are plenty of FSD failure examples on YouTube too. I don't think you can draw conclusions from that. Especially because FSD isn't actually driverless yet, unlike Waymos.

FSD clocked in 10billion miles, not in some geofenced playground mind you.

You should be able to share some videos?

There are literally hundreds. Just search for "FSD fail". This one's great.

I remember this. Driver posted telematics where it clearly shows he turned right into ditch.

Next?

I enjoyed this one.

I'm sure there are reasonable explanations for some of them (just like with Waymo). There really are lots though.

Do you have a link though? Because I could only find articles about the initial incident; nothing about telematics he posted. The driver's name is Wally apparently which makes searching easier...

Funnily if you search for "tesla fsd crash compilation" instead you get tons of videos where car prevents crashes. Funny how that works.

Cool collection of self driving edge cases, thanks. How are any of them related to Waymo using or not using a particular sensor, LIDAR or otherwise?
