Yeah curmudgeon, because you’re also pointlessly rude about the whole thing, with lots of chest thumping, lots of condescension. and a lot of not bothering to open your eyes to the bigger picture.
LIDAR isn’t the answer most of the companies are working on. With good reason, and you listed many of them out. It’s simply the wrong solution to the problem.
I gave you an example, and you insulted it because you don’t want to understand it. The simple fact is you’re in 2005 looking at a Blackberry and insisting smartphones aren’t going to happen. Self driving cars aren’t at iPhone yet, but it’s coming, we can tell, because it IS happening. Not your goalposts, but we’ve discussed this before, I know your goalposts, they move. Because you’re a curmudgeon and can’t stand the idea that reality is proving you wrong.
“I gave you an example, and you insulted it because you don’t want to understand it”
No, my FRiend, I think it is you who does not understand it. A human driver got the truck from the warehouse to the interstate. Do you understand how underwhelming that is? How 1960 that is?

Seriously, what can that truck do that the ‘smart auto’ of 1960 couldn’t?
BTW, my goalposts never move. Its always the same. In order for a car to be considered ‘autonomous’, I merely insist that it be autonomous. I’m a stickler like that.
