I usually like Mark’s videos but this is clickbait. You can’t really call it a failure if a human would have failed the test too. If someone tried to pull that stunt on me while driving without telling me I’d probably have done the same as the car. And driving into fog or rain so thick you can’t see is the same. A human driver would have done no better. LIDaR is not perfect but it does indeed offer some advantages. As does FLIR. To maximize benefit though Tesla has chosen to leave LIDaR out of the equation because historically it costs too much. It’s getting better and cheaper though. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets integrated into Teslas at some point.
