In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised "Full Self Driving" in a couple days.

It doesn't seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldn't safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.

We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Tesla's upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.

I get what you are saying. But adding a new form of data input into the system would probably function to improve performance, not decrease it. I don't think it makes sense to not add LIDAR into Teslas.

All of this feels like Elon was asked to justify not putting a rather expensive (at the time) set of sensors into the Teslas, and he just doubles down and says that they will compensate with software.
