@Bobbelieu Elon Musk has had nothing to do with the design and production of cars, or rockets. He just owns the brainiacs that did develop these things. I of course won't buy any of his products, not because I think they're bad products, but because I refuse to put even one cent of my hard earned money into that spoiled fucktard's pocket.
LIDAR is a technology that allows one to tell distances using light. It’s simple, cost effective, crazy accurate and Elon Musk thinks it’s the Antichrist. He, as a “engineer”, wouldn’t allow them on Tesla vehicles.
That is when I knew he was no engineer.
Instead, they attempt to use cameras to determine distance (which is non-trivial and the greater the distance, the more space must exist between cameras).
He’s no engineer. He’s cheap.
@feloneouscat @MeTheUnfiltered Rockets always go boom and sometimes you launch with the expectation they might. That way you learn things.
@feloneouscat @MeTheUnfiltered I tend to agree with you. The primary reason that SpaceX has done so well is that he hired people much smarter than he is and they'll tell him "no" when they need to. He doesn't have that elsewhere.
