Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This English version is translated from the original Chinese publication.

English Translation

In recent years, a “war of autonomous driving” has been unfolding in the field of intelligent vehicles. On April 22, 2019, Elon Reeve Musk declared at Tesla’s Autonomy Day event that using LiDAR was futile and that anyone relying on it was bound to fail. At the time, aside from Tesla’s commitment to computer vision, most autonomous-driving developers treated LiDAR as the core sensor for self-driving vehicles and as a key device for building machine perception. Musk’s remarks therefore caused a major response in the industry and helped bring the conflict between computer vision and LiDAR to the center of debate.
