The company, led by CEO Elon Musk, has long touted its plans to launch a fleet of self-driving robotaxis, a potential game-changer in the ride-hailing industry. However, Tesla's approach to achieving full self-driving capability has raised concerns among experts and regulators.
Unlike its rivals, such as Waymo and Cruise, which use a combination of sensors, including radar and lidar, Tesla relies solely on computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) for its self-driving systems. This "black box" approach has been criticized for its inability to precisely identify failures or edge cases that could lead to accidents, raising safety concerns.
