Musk did counter his critics, and put up a slide off all his predictions that have come true to date. He added that the only criticism that is fair is that he is not “on time,” as he makes ever more audacious statements amid a decline in sales of his all-electric cars.

NVDA, +1.16% NVDA, +1.16% , which claimed that Tesla used inaccurate comparisons with Nvidia’s rival chips and system.
Lidar is believed to add another level of safety beyond just cameras, providing more information for a car to process.
