Everyone here should check out comma.ai’s open pilot. It is similar to Teslas self driving system, but it’s open source. Perfect Elon replacement. And since they tap into the sensors on your existing car, I imagine they could leverage lidar if more cars had those sensors.
They sell hardware that is designed to run open pilot. Last I checked it was $1k, which feels pretty reasonable compared to what Elon is charging.
I know they both have semi autonomous systems that don’t rely on lidar. The navigate on autopilot presentation comma gave years ago seemed very Tesla. Comma’s self driving capabilities seem to lag a couple years behind Tesla.
I like George Hotz and I know the Lemmy community prefers open source tech, so I wanted to bring some awareness to an alternative you can add to your current car. But I know very little about self driving tech. Maybe I’m wrong in calling them similar.

Similar how? Tesla has over 2 billion self driving miles, comma’s own website says it’s 100 million. Where’s the comparison?

It’s something worth a post of its own, but I wouldn’t put it down as a competitor/replacement.
