Is Tesla Doomed? | Ep 002 Lemonade Stand

And that's why you sometimes wear eye camera shades like this. So all of the vehicles have cameras. And when you buy a Tesla, like right now, it's like eight cameras, right? That are all around the car and can see all of around it. Now, that can get you a lot of information, but as you guys know, if you've ever looked directly into the sun, it's actually hard to see. Sharpens the peepers.

Right, yeah, you train. Or if it's incredibly foggy, or there's whatever conditions that make it hard to see, there are obvious downsides with driving, right, that make driving difficult. Maybe a blizzard or a hurricane or whatever is going on. So LIDAR is Light Detection and Ranging. It is literally shooting laser beams out of the car.

And those laser beams hit a stuff around the car and then bounce back. And from that, it can make a 3D map. It's actually up behind us right now. That's what it looks like. Holy. And this is what a Waymo, which is the most successful, like fully autonomous car right now is doing. If you've seen self-driving cars anywhere, it's in a couple of cities in the US. Yeah.

That's a lidar system So it's spinning around and literally shooting lasers at everything around it and in ridiculous amount of definition You get this like 3d world around it looks like the matrix You know when neo like sees the matrix and it's all like green things like all green lines and everything That's what it looks like with lidar um And you might think, that's badass, right?

You should do that. Not only should you do that, it has nothing to do with light, really, right? You can do this in complete darkness, and since you're shooting laser beams everywhere, it doesn't need light. And then on top of that, there's a third thing you can add in, which is radar. And if you look at the imaging here,

not nearly as defined as lidar uh radar is you know what you hear about in you know planes and whatever else which is that this is red dot is your puppy getting run over it's not so bad when you see it like that though it's not as visceral this test footage is done they basically drive a waymo through a dog park and each of these dots this is the email you're getting from waymo and they kill your dog yeah
