The tweet mentions that it is a "radar-equipped car (but hw2.5 of course)" Does hw2.5 not use the radar data?

  Even if... Tesla (like many others) suppressed Radar standstill targets to prioritize driving over stopping. Without another modality, they are indistinguishable from ground clutter in some scenes and who would want to full stop for a manhole cover every now and then... Elon maybe thought, getting rid of radar might solve that problem. It doesn't.

  Reading this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Hardware_2.5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Hardware_2.5 It seems like it does use the radar. The generation after 2.5 (3.0) did appear to improve the "frames per second" processing from ~110-200/sec to ~2300/sec. I'm guessing the comment means something like "if this was related to sensor processing throughput or latency, the 2.5 version might be meaningful".

    That is marketing blurb. The higher number stems from more cameras, not higher frequency or lower latency per camera.
