I think they falsely believe human only needs one sense to navigate: sight. But we actually use our hearing, smell, and touch too. So, multiple type sensors is actually better than only one.
- jimberlage 2y agoFully agree - also it’s a bit weird on Tesla’s part to think that there could be no possible way to make things better than a human in some regards. If humans had radar, it would probably make us more capable, not less.

- binkHN 2y agoI imagine smell and touch are less valuable when driving a vehicle.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoTouch is probably only needed to feel when you bump into something you didn't see, hopefully at low speed... but taste, yuck!
- ohmyiv 2y ago>Touch is probably only needed to feel when you bump into something you didn't see I think you're underestimating the importance of touch, especially when it comes to steering and pedal control.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoThat's a limitation of us. We need touch and indicators to gauge how effective we are, but a machine can precisely throttle 23% or keep the steering wheel at 19 degrees without need to gauge how hard it is pushing the actuators. Touch is nice, but hardly crucial for driving.
- shiroiushi 2y agoTouch is really important: it's how you can tell if your vehicle is sliding. You can feel the various forces of the vehicle's motion through touch.
- mkl 2y agoAlso more basic things like whether your feet are touching the pedals, that you're gripping the steering wheel at all, and how much force those things are taking.
- jwmcq 2y agoUnless that smell is oil. Or gasoline. Or burning rubber. Or petrichor. Or just plain old smoke. Or the touch is the feeling of road surface changing, or the steering wheel getting harder to turn / having no effect at all, or the rush of air if a door flies open...
- fortran77 2y agoSmell lets me know when it’s time to roll down the window.
- inhumantsar 2y agoalso, depending on the area or the AQHI, when to Roll it back up
- aaronmdjones 2y agoTouch is extremely important when driving a vehicle. You won't know which controls you're using and how much force you're exerting upon your pedals otherwise.
- llamaimperative 2y agoOur eyes are also attached to an unfathomably efficient supercomputer. The most advanced one in the universe, in fact, by a gigantic margin compared to anything humans have made.
- phinnaeus 2y agoEven if all the other senses were gone, the human eyes are hooked up to the human brain. Elon's references to cameras being eyes always glosses over the image processing part.
