Elon Musk May Have Made a Huge Mistake on Full Self-Driving That It's Too Late to Correct

Tesla is yet again in hot water with regulators over its decision to rely exclusively on cameras for its "Full Self-Driving" feature.

The probe hones in on one of Tesla’s most eyebrow-raising decisions when it comes to its driver assistance package: the insistence on exclusively relying on camera sensors instead of LiDAR and radar like its competitors, which CEO Elon Musk has long derided as a “crutch.”

In 2022, the company went all-in on cameras, ditching ultrasonic sensors in its vehicles altogether — a decision that could prove to be a major mistake as it struggles to catch up with its competition and has now promised robust self-driving capabilities to owners who may lack the necessary sensor hardware.

      reality and logistics show we will need both here in the u.s. due to societal and resource constraints.
