Speaking to Australian journalists in Detroit, GM’s director of autonomous vehicle integration Scott Miller rubbished Elon Musk’s claims that his upcoming Model 3 has the hardware to allow full self-driving capability and does not believe full-autonomous driving could be implemented at its price point. A fully autonomous vehicle available for consumers to buy could be 10 to 15 years away, Mr. Miller said.



GM’s own solution involves several radar and Lidar sensors, as well as cameras and multiple redundancy systems. Each system costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and GM are some way away from getting the cost low enough to be commercially viable. “The level of technology and knowing what it takes to do the mission, to say you can be a full level five with just cameras and radars is not physically possible,” Mr Miller said. “I think you need the right sensors and right computing package to do it.”
