No..I was referring to Tesla, since they are often called out for not using LIDAR. They are, however, selling direct to consumers...where that $10k matters a lot, right now.

Waymo is likely either targeting operators (not end consumers) or at least waiting until LIDAR is much cheaper before they do.

Oh, I see. Yeah I agree it would have been silly of Tesla to add LIDAR to the cars currently on the market, just for the sake of better training data.
