Why Ford Thinks LIDAR Is 'Mission Critical' For Self-Driving Cars
Briefly

Tesla has initiated a limited deployment of its Robotaxi in Austin, available to selected influencers and Tesla advocates, while still requiring a human in the passenger seat for safety. Ford has openly expressed skepticism about Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology, emphasizing LIDAR as essential for their self-driving approach. CEO Farley highlighted that they prefer LIDAR over Tesla’s vision-based system. Ford plans to collaborate with partners to integrate self-driving technology into their vehicles rather than pursuing Tesla’s technology at this time.
Farley made it clear that Ford felt that LIDAR tech used by other robotaxi companies like Waymo is just way-mo better than Tesla's vision-based system.
Ford, the number three automaker in the U.S., plans to work with partners to incorporate self-driving technology into its future vehicles.
