New Jersey bill could force Tesla to use lidar in robotaxis

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

A proposed New Jersey law would require all autonomous vehicles to use lidar or radar sensors, not just cameras.

Meridian48 take
The bill underscores growing regulatory pushback against Tesla's camera-only approach, potentially slowing its robotaxi ambitions.
