In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

An automotive lidar scanner is nothing compared to the price of a car. Yeah it's more expensive than the one that's in your phone but that's not shocking they're not going to put a really expensive one in your phone because it would exceed the value of the phone.

Although if you've got an iPhone that's possibly not the case.
