A robot should be able to search its own map
Mark Gaussian splats with object identity, retrieve the relevant scene evidence, and let geometry handle the drive.
Innovation is hard. Elon Musk keeps calling it easy.
Musk repeatedly presents unfinished engineering as nearly solved, then replaces missed deadlines with larger promises.
