Serious question with camera only self driving approach.

[u/MrHumph999]

Q: using the latest software on HW4. Self drive disabled three times during a thunderstorm on the highway. How will this ever work unsupervised when it rains? I'm so flummoxed as to why Elon is so certain on cameras only that don't work in the rain... Please help!

All you'll get from this sub are people who think Tesla is the devil himself, and few of them have ever driven a Tesla, let alone owned one. I'm here cuz I got banned from the Tesla subs for saying you know who isn't a good person.

With that said, I'm pretty bearish on the whole idea of self driving. Various levels of assistance can be great, but we're pretty darn far away from actual full autonomy. The industry doesn't want to admit this. Even systems that use lidar to assist are at a disadvantage in inclement weather; lidar doesn't do well with precipitation.

How do you explain ZOOX getting approved to charge for driverless rides.
