BMW just released a video showing their newly produced driverless vehicles traveling over one kilometer through their factory in Dingolfing, Germany. Unlike Tesla, the system relies completely on LiDAR. Tesla uses AI and computer vision to autonomously move their vehicles outside from the production line, to the loading docks.... show more

Nono it's way worse than just Lidar... they're using digital environmental models here. This is basically a disney rail ride.

Tesla Demand Sinks Dramatically In US And Europe As California Prospects Dim

Joey & Chewy 🇨🇦⚔️1 year ago

Yeah teslas version cost literally zero since they are using the cameras in the car. BMW seems to have lidar set up along the entire 1km stretch. 🤦

Correct

1.2 miles. Amazing. My Tesla drove 459 miles yesterday all on FSD with vision only. Also much cheaper. 🤗

It would be interesting to test this liDAR technology with Tesla’s latest vision technology

Steve Dekker1 year ago

FSD LiDAR is a dead technology. Tesla’s 100% vision-only fully autonomous FSD starts in 60 days. Cybercabs cost $17K to build, no remote drivers, no geo fencing. Waymo’s cost $150K to build, require remote drivers and gel fencing. Tesla wins.

Not sure who they are marketing to, as a car buyer probably isn't going to care about a warehouse automated motion planner. Are they trying to sell iFactory to other manufacturers?

Awesome.

XPeng released several short clips showcasing their updated VLA 2.0 self-driving software in China. XPeng dropped LiDAR in favor of a camera-vision approach, similar to Tesla. Their CEO recently visited the U.S. to test Tesla FSD V14.2 and said it was near Level 4 performance.

It’s the last production day of 2025 at Giga Texas & it seems to be a Model Y Performance day to boot! I’ve added a real time video showing the pace of vehicles exiting the factory, but with a new twist. The cars are being driven out of the factory and down the ramp by employees, then autonomously about 1.3 miles to the West End of Line facility for final processing. This may be due to interior preparations for upgrades and maintenance on the production lines over the next few weeks. In any case, enjoy these views of a rare Friday production day!

Breaking Giga Texas News! starting today, new vehicles (Model Ys & Cybertruck are moving fully autonomously from the factory to the west outbound lot and without human supervisors! I saw this happening constantly, with Model Ys exiting and immediately driving away on their own from the factory. This is a huge accomplishment for Tesla as now Giga Texas joins Fremont as FSD improves overall efficiency!

ELON: TESLA OWNERS WILL BE ABLE TO ADD THEIR CARS TO THE ROBOTAXI FLEET “Any customer will be able to add or remove their car to the Tesla network. We expect this to operate like a combination of maybe the Uber and Airbnb model. If you own the car, you can add or subtract it to the Tesla network and Tesla would take 25% or 30% of the revenue. In places where there aren't enough people sharing their cars, we would just have dedicated Tesla vehicles. It's really simple. We'll update the app and add summon Tesla or add or subtract your car to the fleet. You'll be able to do that from your phone.” Source: Elon Musk, Tesla Autonomy Day, April 2019

Nissan has unveiled its next-gen driver assist AI technology called ProPilot, which the company says will be on par with Tesla's FSD when it is released by March 2028. “We think ours is smarter than Tesla FSD, just not as polished as a product,” said Nissan. The prototype vehicles feature 11 cameras, 5 radar sensors, and a next-generation LiDAR sensor. "Demonstrated on Ariya prototype vehicles in downtown Tokyo, the system combines Wayve AI Driver software with Nissan’s Ground Truth Perception and next-generation LiDAR."

I spent 6 hours at Tesla Boston and spoke to well over 50 people. Most had never even heard of Optimus before, their minds were completely blown. Great work by Tesla getting Optimus in front of visitors from all over the world who are here for the Boston Marathon.
