@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.
