> Regarding results, the best Andrej can do is, "In this case, we looked at using it and not using it, and the delta was not massive." In other words, the results are better, but not enough to make up for the fact that Telsa can't support additional sensors without incurring a prohibitive amount of additional risk to Tesla. Risk to passengers doesn't appear to be a consideration.
I think this mischaracterizes Andrej's response. If anything he is referring to a wholistic view of the vehicle, which includes but doesn't entirely consist of Tesla. For example, 5-10 years down the road, when sensors start going bad, consumers will appreciate fewer things to go wrong with a vehicle--that is one of the advantages of electric over ICE after all.
If anything this is an acknowledgement that George Hotz was right in focusing on optical sensors with Comma.ai.
