Tesla Autopilot was disabled before impact in the @MarkRober LiDAR vs Vision Only video. This video was a paid sponsorship by Luminar, who he thanked in the description and their site advertises his video. This video appears to be a disingenuous smear campaign.
It looks like @MarkRober edited his comments to clarify he was not paid to promote Luminar and the fully equipped vehicle with LiDAR that was driven by the Luminar employee was provided for testing purposes to compare against Tesla basic autopilot (not even FSD).
This was by no
So they decided to compare a large, expensive lidar sensor attached to a Lexus that hasnโt even been installed in real customer cars To an actual customer car that can drive you on FSD from point A to B daily without showing FSD lol
This guy who vandalized the Teslas was a state employee too. Conflict of interest? Hopefully, at the very least, he pays the damages to all six victims. But it is unfortunate that he was not charged for committing multiple crimes and gets to walk free.
