    A while ago people called Musk out on only using cameras when better options existed(for reasons exactly like this one), and he had a little tanty about it like the normal adult man he is. I have no doubt turning off existing radar features is a spiteful move because he got his feelings hurt.

      Doubt thats the reason. More like no need to maintain two versions of their software.

        No sane person would ever have 2 separate versions of their software for different sensors. It would be 1 software with integration of the different sensors.

        It’s not “Cameras OR Lidar”, it’s Cameras AND Lidar.
