Kathleen Pham+FollowRivian’s Lidar Gamble: Smarter Than Tesla?Rivian just threw down the gauntlet in the autonomy race, rolling out its own AI chip and rooftop lidar for next-gen EVs. Unlike Tesla’s camera-only approach, Rivian is betting big on a multi-sensor stack—think custom silicon, radar, and that eye-catching lidar dome. Is this sensor-heavy strategy the future of safe self-driving, or just overkill? Would you trust a robotaxi with more sensors, or is software king? Let’s debate. #Tech #Rivian #AutonomousVehicles00Share
kirsten43+FollowWaymo Robotaxis: School Zone Blind Spot?Waymo’s robotaxis just got hit with a major reality check: their self-driving software failed to stop for school buses with stop arms out, putting kids at risk. The company is pushing a software update, but is that enough? As these vehicles expand into more cities, do you trust code to make life-or-death decisions in school zones? Would you let a robotaxi near your neighborhood? Let’s talk about where we draw the line for autonomous safety. #Tech #Waymo #AutonomousVehicles00Share
