Tesla definitely used the radar for their autopilot before the update, now they just increased its responsibility. The autopilot still needs the camera, at least for lane detection.
They won't be able to achieve similar or better results than Google with the current sensor suite, for example they don't have anything to check for oncoming cars behind the vehicle. No software update can compensate for things that the sensors don't see.
- usaphp 10y ago>"for example they don't have anything to check for oncoming cars behind the vehicle" Then how does a line changing feature works? I am pretty sure you need to see cars behind you to safely change lanes?
- wibr 10y agoAs far as I know, the driver has to make sure that it's safe to change lanes. Other manufacturers have rear facing radars for this.

For safety reason the driver has yet to be sure that no one is approaching you at the moment of changing lane but the system obviously works autonomously, you just have to engage the turn signal. > "Other manufacturers have rear facing radars for this." Tesla have rear radars, otherwise Autolane-changing and Autopark features wouldn't be available to use.
