Brett Schreiber, Founding Partner at Singleton Schreiber, was recently featured in The Guardian in an article titled “‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered.” In the article, Schreiber discusses Tesla’s decision to rely solely on camera-based technology in its new robotaxi service and the safety risks that continue to surface, especially as the company faces investigations and lawsuits over fatal crashes involving its full self-driving features.
Schreiber emphasized that Tesla’s refusal to incorporate radar and lidar has put lives at risk, saying, “Everyone who has been following collision-avoidant technology since the 90s knows that the holy trinity is radar, lidar and cameras.” He warned that the consequences of these decisions go beyond technical failures, noting, “Now we’re actually at someone’s funeral because of the choices Tesla makes.” Schreiber and Singleton Schreiber represent several individuals who allege they were harmed by Tesla’s autopilot and full self-driving systems.
