LiDAR vs Computer Vision: Does Waymo Have A Better Strategy Than Tesla? | Random Thursday

At Tesla's Investor Autonomy Day, they laid out their plan for building a self-driving network of robotaxis and made the argument that their computer vision approach is better than LiDAR-based approaches.

Here I take a look at the two strategies and see which one could be the first to create the self-driving car.
