Video – Tesla Model S Testing Velodyne Lidar System

Of interest via Insideevs… While Tesla continues to insist that it won’t switch over to LIDAR for its sensor system for Autopilot, the sightings of various manufacturer plate Tesla Model S electric cars seems to suggest something else.

From the article, Elon Musk insists radar is the way to go and with Autopilot 8.0 the radar-based system has been upgraded significantly for improved detection, but perhaps in the far off future LIDAR will make its way into Tesla’s lineup?
