    Good point. I thought Teslas had radar for awhile though and they took it out?

    Was lidar that expensive in a car though? Because Infiniti started adding it in 2014 for the cruise control and those cars usually sell new for $50k if you get it fully loaded.

    And they could have added radar and sonar to assist the cameras at least. The radar couldn’t give 3d data, but it could say “yo bro that’s a solid object, not the skyline” at least.

    Good point on the promises though. They really fucked themselves with Elon’s claims.
