Ford CEO Jim Farley expressed skepticism about technological access to cars engaged in self-vehicle Teslastating consumer “trust” and the need to “really be careful,” why Ford see more potential in systems based on laser sensors Those on vehicles on Waymo.
Comments are the latest indication of the automatic industry vision of the general director Elona musk mini gathering vehicles for self-riding only video cameras and artificial intelligence believes that other automation will eventually be paid License Tesla technology.
But Ford, the number three cars in the United States, which plans to build self-riding in their future vehicles, it will not soon be likely to be on Friday, they will soon allow Tesla’s technology on Friday.
“When you have a brand like Ford, when there is new technology, you need to be really careful,” Farley said at the Aspen Ideas festival on Friday. “We really believe Livar is critical,” Farley said, Referring to laser sensors Use companies like Waymo.
Farentley was challenged by Walter Isaacson, who published a biography on Elon Musk 2023. Years. When their conversation turned into autonomy, Isaacy asked Farley to compare both the Waymo and Tesla systems and asked what access had more sense.
“For us, Waymo,” Farley said. He pointed out that both was WaymoThe owned by Google-Parent Alphabet and Tesla “made a lot of progress” on self-run and Farley admitted that he talked to Elon Music. But he said Ford considered a leader to be an important part of the image, noted that “where the camera will be completely blinded, Lidar will see exactly what is in front of you.”
Tesla, which is recently started their robotage service in Austin– With safety riders on the front seat – it is known to bring the “camera” closer to its autonomous technology, which means that it does not use radar or Lidar technology to “see” the environment around the car. This approach was withdrawing the supervision of the industry from people who were examined whether it was surplus, even as musk claimed it was more economical and at the same time
“The question with Waym’s cars is to cost more money,” Musk said during the Tesla’s three-month earnings in April. “The car is very expensive, made in a low amount. Teslas probably cost 25% or 20% of what costs cost and make in a very large amount.”
Ford said he plans a partnership with a software company for self-riding after technology is more distant. While the company spent $ 1 billion input of one’s own joint venture VolkswagenNamed Argo Ai, Ford ceased to finance effort in 2022. years and decided to continue with a partner model. Meanwhile, the company paid attention to their “BlueCruise” technology, the so-called level of self-control 2 that allows drivers to take their hands off the highway, but requires full attention. Ford is still working on the development of a more advanced system, which will allow drivers to pay attention during certain times – but it more said that there was no longer intended to build a fully autonomous, level for partnership with other companies.
“We decided as a company that the problem is colder than full autonomy in the urban environment, pressed the button and read the book in your car,” Farley said.
