It's also possible their radar was functionally useless: while it gave good range information it had poor angular resolution, a fact which seemed to contribute to Autopilot's issue with recognising stationary obstacles. it's worth keeping in mind that LIDAR gives much higher quality data than low-cost radar. (It also doesn't follow that if their radar was useless that vision alone would be good enough)
- akerl_ 4y agoThat might have made more sense to me if they hadn't followed it up by removing their ultrasonic sensors, which were functionally quite useful, since without them the car cannot see things at low speeds that are below the plane visible from the front-facing camera mounted opposite the rear view mirror.
- WirelessGigabit 4y agoExcept cameras don't work in low-vis situations. Their range is shorter. In fact, when Tesla removed the radar their max-speed with self-driving (or what is it called) dropped from 80mph to 75mph. What's worse is that they disabled the radar for everybody. How is that not a class action? You're losing features.
