SEEING LIKE A SEDAN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Tesla robotaxis navigate using an array of cameras, while Waymos uses LIDAR technology along with a suite of complementary sensors. Tesla challenged convention, but it has quietly reintroduced radar, and it is possible it may bring in other modalities. The paths for the two companies seem likely to converge in the future. This means that instead of debating whether cameras or LIDAR is better, regulators should be asking whether robotaxis in general are as safe as human drivers.
