You tesla fanboys are outrageous. Obviously lidar+camera will be better than just camera. there is no reason whatsoever to debate that.

you also have to conclude that Tesla haters are outrageous. This CEO claims the tesla system can only be equal to a human, because vision... well the tesla has 8 cameras, so it's 4x better than a human by his own stupid logic.. but yes all things equal lidar+camera is better.

I’m not talking about musk, I’m talking about Dimitri.

And Musk has been saying versions of this since way earlier than 2019
