00:02Investor Ross Gerber said Tesla's full self-driving system struggles when driving into direct sunlight,
00:08citing what he described as a hardware limitation.
00:11In a series of posts on X on Monday, Gerber said Tesla FSD fails when facing direct sun
00:16and compared the issue to how human drivers use sunglasses, visors, or hands to block glare.
00:22He said he completed successful drives around busy West Los Angeles using FSD version 14.2.2.4,
00:29including during an Iranian protest in Westwood, but the system failed on his drive home due to sunlight.
00:35Gerber contrasted Tesla's system with Waymo, which he said does not have the same sunlight issue.
00:40He also noted Waymo is expected to raise $15 billion at a $100 billion valuation, mostly from Google.
00:47Gerber said Tesla's FSD software performs well overall,
00:50but raised concerns that hardware limitations prevent the system from working reliably in direct sunlight.
