To all car companies still relying on LiDAR in 2025—Waymo, Zoox, Cruise, and now Rivian—do you think this approach will solve autonomous driving on a large scale? You're on the wrong track. You were warned about this back at Tesla's Autopilot Day in 2019. But few listened… Fast forward to today, and it's clear that Tesla's AI vision is the right path. "LiDAR is futile. Anyone relying on LiDAR is doomed to fail. They are expensive sensors and completely unnecessary. It's like having a bunch of expensive appendixes. One appendix is bad enough, but you have a bunch. It's ridiculous. You'll see." —Elon Musk
