The camera-only vs lidar debate is realy the crux of it. Tesla's insistance on vision-only might be ideologcal at this point, but the scaling problem you mention is key. If they can't get past that dozen-car fleet without safety monitors, the whole robotaxi thesis falls apart regardless of sensor choice.
Ha, yes, or I guess "predicts with unwarranted confidence". I mean, this apparently works for him. But it sure is hard to take him seriously when he predicts for example that superintelligence is arriving in one year. (Earlier this year he said it would happen by the end of this year. "Or next year for sure", he added.)
And yet. In terms of Tesla's self-driving, it does seem like progress is happening at least.

Yeah, lidar is getting cheap! The robominions think it would add roughly $1k to the price of a Tesla.
“Musk promises…”
You should put promises in quotes…
