Tesla may be making a u-turn for the full self-driving sensors. There have been widespread speculations of Elon Musk choosing laser (lidar) sensors over cameras. Industry watchers believe Taiwan-based lidar providers might benefit from Tesla’s change of strategy, which is not yet confirmed.
Originally calling the lidar a “crutch” and preferred a camera-based full self-driving technology, the electric carmaker CEO Elon Musk might have changed his mind as photos with Luminar lidar sensors, that are proven to be owned by Tesla and set on top of Tesla Model Y, were taken and put on Twitter stirring up speculations.
