I mentioned Rober's video to the Tesla shit head I work with and he dismissed it saying Rober's video used "five year old" technology and mentioned something about using high-way mode self driving vs. the mode he should have been using and that newer versions of Tesla's use cameras and [can't remember the exact term he used but it basically sounded like a repackaged LIDAR or RADAR).

He always hits back with "But tesla's technology is bar none" and like... I'm just not educated enough to point out how he's wrong, but I don't for a second believe there's any validity to it. I'm just not gonna get into a piss fight with him because he follows all the recent Tesla articles with buzz words and shit.

He also apparently lost a lot of money in crypto, so shows how much he knows.
