Tesla‘s CEO Elon Musk weighed in on Volvo Cars‘ decision to permanently discontinue LiDAR sensors from its vehicles, posting on X early Wednesday that he had “tried to warn” the industry.

 

The Chief Executive was replying to an X post by user ‘RoamingNorway’, who wrote that “customers with a LiDAR-equipped Volvo EX90 or ES90 in Norway will get a €1800 compensation for features that won’t arrive.”

 

Musk wrote: “I did try to warn them. Humans drive using neural nets and optical sensors. Same is true for robot cars.”

Volvo is officially discontinuing the LiDAR-sensor on their cars. All customers with a LiDAR-equipped Volvo EX90 or ES90 in Norway will get a €1800 compensation for features that won’t arrive. There is no retrofit to remove it. pic.twitter.com/UfO3KjoTIu
