German court bans Tesla ad statements related to autonomous driving

It's also almost certainly true. Whether you think LIDAR-based systems are the way to go, there's no doubt that full self-driving based on cameras is possible given the right software. That's what humans are, after all, so it's "just" a matter of building the software to drive that hardware.

the "right software" is nowhere to be found though

They don’t claim to have it. I’m just pointing out that the claim as written is true.

It's may or may not be, and most likely not. Humans are more than just software, they are also hardware. And no, the consumer grade cameras included in Tesla vehicles are not replicas for eyeballs.

A human could likely drive just fine using only those cameras though.

Apple, HP, etc should take note and sell their laptops as "have the hardware needed for full AGI capability."

Chemistry kits with a sample of every element in the periodic table should advertise them as "have all the materials needed for COVID-19 vaccine."

It's just software. How hard can it be? /s

That’s why I put “just” in scare quotes.

Not that this invalidates your point at all, but doing that literally would actually be extremely expensive and difficult for some of the elements.

Surely the extremely expensive and difficult to obtain elements aren't going to be in any vaccine.

It will be worth it. After all, COVID-19 vaccine is priceless. /s
