‘Trust issues’ with Tesla’s Robotaxi: Ford CEO agrees more with Google’s Waymo

Ford CEO Jim Farley voiced skepticism about Tesla’s camera-only autonomous vehicle approach, favoring Waymo’s LiDAR technology due to safety and consumer trust considerations. He emphasized LiDAR’s reliability in situations where cameras might fail, highlighting Ford’s focus on high-speed, eyes-off driving through its BlueCruise Level 2 system. This reflects a growing industry divergence from Tesla’s minimalist strategy.
