If you think about it like that, getting a LiDAR system on your car that can make a 3D projected map, that's very cool, but that does not solve the problem of the infinity scenarios you need to be able to handle in order for somebody to truly feel like it's safe and a city to feel like this is truly not causing a problem. So really, this is not about having all the sensors.
It's about knowing what to do with the information you have. And if Tesla's argument is we have 99% of the information we need, it doesn't matter if you have that 1% more of like, yeah, cool. In a foggy situation, we can see that there is a dog that's on the other side of the road to the right, right? What's more important is that- This is a human podcast. We don't care about the dogs here.

And in this case, right? And obviously there are flaws to that, right? You do have a lack of information to the degree that a Waymo does, but really this is going to come down to an absolutely obscene amount of AI and training and machine learning using data from cars in real world scenarios to figure out how do we make a system that can handle basically everything.

And which car company in the world has the most data when it comes to driving cars, cars that drive?

Tesla by many orders of magnitude.
Tesla by many orders of magnitude.
Tesla by many orders of magnitude.
Because they've had cars in all their Teslas for many years. They've had millions of cars, hundreds of thousands or millions of cars on the road for many years. With the cameras. With cameras and computers, right? Even if you don't have the full self-driving thing, they have cameras that are looking at everything. This has been the case for a long time for Teslas, right?

Right, right. An incredibly long time.
Right, right. An incredibly long time.
Right, right. An incredibly long time.
That's right, which is very scary for other riders. There's a lot of Tesla users who just treat it like it is fully self-driving and it works the vast majority of the time. It does work most of the time. And so the question is, and this is why for a while I was actually really bullish on Tesla and I'm not so much now. It's like,
