I wonder what caused the temporary regressions in Q3 and Q4? I assume the Q1 improvement is due to the majority of the fleet switching to the FSD v12 stack.

When did they switch to vision only and stop using lidar or whatever it was?

[–] threelonmusketeers 1 points 4 months ago

I don't think Tesla vehicles have ever used lidar, but older vehicles used radar and ultrasonic sensors. Radar was phased out in 2021 and 2022, and USS were phased out in 2022 and 2023. Both of these seem a bit early to account for the decrease.

I do see a cyclical pattern in the "Tesla vehicles not using Autopilot technology". I wonder if there could be some other seasonal factor at play here?
