That they are using it in official statements should tell you exactly how intelligent Tesla is being with self-driving technology. This is also the company that thinks level 4 self-driving can be done without LIDAR. They're idiots, frankly, completely ignoring the difficulties of computer vision (both in computation and optics) that will not be overcome anytime soon. Even their fatality seems to have been rooted in their camera's inability to distinguish the color of the truck from the color of the sky. Tesla hasn't even taught a car to navigate an intersection on its own, much less all the things Google's car is capable of these days. I think what all this shows is the importance of regulators getting off their asses and establishing standards for self-driving vehicles. Perhaps the fatality was the event that will get them in gear. Poor guy.
