:o) Tesla is not using radars?!
I am driving an '14 Audi A6 and I can tell you, the radars + software on it are the most advanced I ever saw. They even catch a small cat when was trying to cross the street. The car actioned a emergency break before I even realized. The only time when this wasn't working, was during a snow blizzard, when the radar sensors got iced and they couldn't see anything. Otherwise, they are pretty wide range, at least 100m.
It also keeps the car in between the lanes - this is done with a camera, but if you take your hands of the wheel, you get a max of about 30 seconds of free driving to maybe open a bottle of water, before it get's really loud.

TIL everyone on Hacker News drives a much nicer car than I do. The crash avoidance measures run in tandem with the autonomous driving features, but the system (which is mainly licensed technology from Mobileye) just doesn't get any depth intelligence from it. Presumably if autonomous driving pointed you into a brick wall, the radar stuff would still trigger the AEB features (autonomous braking).
