Elon said they’re not going to need the radars going forward. I guess that makes sense if vision gets good enough but they’re going to run into issues like you said if camera placements and poor visibility. They should have stuck cameras facing the left/right from the furthest corners of the car so it can see around corners without inching into the street. But who knows, it seems like they’ve made good progress as is so well see. I don’t understand the people that think they’re never going to upgrade the camera suite though, cybertruck and the semi already have a new camera layout.

> I don’t understand the people that think they’re never going to upgrade the camera suite though Well, they've committed an awful lot to current FSD customers that I think will be difficult to deliver upon with the current camera suite. I think LIDAR is a huge advantage. There's the direct benefit: you really know exactly where things are. But secondarily, you have ground truth near-perfect range data to use in training your vision system.
