fast technology reported on august 29 that according to media reports,the appearance of a tesla model x test vehicle in northern california has attracted widespread attention because the vehicle was found to be equipped with a lidar device.

the finding is in stark contrast to tesla's past stance.because tesla and its ceo elon musk have always emphasized that fully autonomous driving does not require reliance on lidar.

tesla has always insisted on a pure vision autonomous driving solution based on cameras, and has gradually eliminated other sensor technologies such as lidar and ultrasonic sensors.

interestingly, musk made it clear at tesla's autopilot day in 2019:“lidar is a fool’s errand, and anyone who relies on it is doomed to fail.”

he insists that vision-only systems are sufficient for fully autonomous driving, without the need for additional sensors.

however, recently leaked photos show that tesla's model x engineering vehicle was equipped with a lidar system while being tested in northern california.

this could mean that tesla is still using lidar for some form of data collection or vision verification work, which would appear to contradict its public position.

however, tesla plans to release robotaxi, a fully self-driving taxi service, on october 10.

the outside world therefore speculates that the test car equipped with lidar may be closely related to the development of robotaxi.
